There are two aspects of Evolution that are important to our understanding of The Trumpian Persuasion. And just so you know, that "title" is a bastardization of Marvin Meyers' Text The Jacksonian Persuasion Politics and Belief one of the textbooks from my freshman year American History class, that of Mrs. Cowden. There are rabid similarities that Jackson and trump share, but that's a blog sequence for another day.
These two aspects are familiar, I hope, to all of us. We know Darwin and his Origin of Species, but only a few of us may know of Immanuel Velikovsky and his Worlds In Collision.
Darwin is the progenitor of GRADUAL Change, Survival of the Fittest, while Velikovsky is a "Cataclysmacist", a one who asserts that Change is generated by Cataclysm.
There IS a 3rd "School" that discharges Change as the result of Genetic Mutation but, once again, that is a blog sequence for another rainy day.
Oddly, but recognizably, I am a populist of All Three.
I view trump as a GIANT Comet, or Asteroid, or Meteorite,that, like the One That Destroyed The Dinosaurs, has crashed into America and is on the verge of destroying the American-Political-World-As-We-Know-It. Trump entered our once pristine Atmosphere as a blazing ORANGE Orb.
He has caused a Cataclysm....just look around.
