There’s a lot to be depressed about in America right now. After all, we have a president who’s openly discussing waging war against ‘enemy’ Democrat cities, teasing a ban on opposing political parties, and with a gang of unaccountable masked goons in unmarked cars snatching people off the streets.
But what rubs salt into the wound is that this evil isn’t even smart and sexy. Take the Empire in Star Wars. Sure, they’re architects of genocidal, planet-killing villainy, but their uniforms are on point, their ships look cool as hell, and they’re smart enough to build a damn Death Star. These are worthy opponents and so all the more satisfying to grind into dust.
