Tolstoy had a late life crisis in which he ran away from Yasnaya Polyana and died alone in the train station at Astapovo. That might be a good description for American society. Under the guise of having it up to here with government regulations including woke culture, inflation and income inequality, America supported a version of the mad clown from Stephen King's It. Along the way was Pizzagate, QAnon and a conspiracy theorist named Laura Loomer. When things get tough people opt for the medieval or the geopolitical form of medieval theme parks filled with jousters like Pete Hegseth who earned his stripes as a drinker and carouser. Democracy has ultimately been the price the USA has had to play for their bachelor or bachelorette party. Carpe diem. People want their fun and want it now—no matter that someone’s gotta pay the piper.
