Media has profoundly sculpted our perception of the world and what is "normal."
The 90's could be seen as the development of a hyper-normalcy, the mass imagined hallucination of an "end of history" and the achievement of a final state of society with the collapse of the USSR.
9/11 was the cataclysmic shattering of that hyper-normal delusion.
Obama was a desperate attempt to return to 90's hypernormalcy.
Clinton was a literal cry for even more 90's hypernormalcy.
Trump exposed the utter weakness of the hypernormal delusion by saying "I am evil!" and everyone cheered and elected him.
Now in his second term he is saying "I'm doing whatever evil I please and you won't stop me" and demands nothing more than your silence.
The true illusion that has been shattered is that running a society based on greed could result in any other way.
Make the world into a pay to win game, get a clown world. Shrimple as.
