Here is a great essay that deals with an agenda that the US current political admin seems to be intentionally employing. I would have never connected the “style” of grotesque and it’s proliferation into culture, to the point of it being commonplace and expected these days to be used as a possible intentional tactic for, not only control but also impunity. Check it out, it’s brilliant!
Here is a poem I wrote on this subject just yesterday
American Dream
Tractors growl
The sound of the american dream
American flags fly
A symbol of brainwashed fools
Newscasters tell lies
Controlled by a fascist king
The sunset brings colors
Nature does her thing
The colors are hazy
A sign of pollution
Flowers still grow
And life on earth still happens
Clowns rule the world
but we can stop the clowns.
I hope.
this is fantastic Ellen! Thanks so much for sharing it.
