Dueling Apocalypses?

CLR Show 1871. Air Date December 5, 2023. The Trumpian message and world vision has been self-consciously apocalyptic, with minor variations to suit more secular audiences.  Essentially, it states that without me the end times begin. And it is a message that has worked, somehow compelling MAGA types and Evangelicals alike to act against their own historical beliefs in the interest of preventing their own fantasized destruction. Of late, democrats have begun to explore the use of apocalyptic imagery as a means of inspiring the more quiescent elements within their base. The difference, of course, is that our apocalypse would be real under Trump 2. Donald has already assured that. Maybe it's time we began to respond and react in our own self-interest.
