The crack in the facade: Toward a unified conspiracy theory of fascism.
Mar 30 2019
The establishment opposed to Donald Dump believe there is a line, below which he sits, on his tasteless gold toilet, tweeting his misspelled words and doing his second-tier, déclassé-collar crimes, while they look down their noses from their understated, right-thinking, right-acting positions of propriety. What they don’t realize is that, while they bend over to scold him and dirt-devil up the shards and crumbs of the taco bowl he left on their lovely carpet, Dump is actually their own ass crack hanging shamefully out of the back of their silk-linen blend trousers.
In a Moment of Truth, Jeff Dorchen works his way uncomfortably deep into the cracks spreading across the already thin global veneer of democracy, and finds Trump and Russia, but not the Trump and Russia of the liberal imagination, but the Trump and Russia (and US and France and Germany and Israel and Brazil (repeat as necessary)) of a unifying fascist kleptocracy.
