      When Trump was elected I said to someone "This is just the alternate ending to Death of a Salesman where Willy gets everything he wants" And the next four years both proved I was completely right and revealed all this depth to that observation I wasn't even thinking abouthttps://twitter.com/dreamingnoctis/status/1333553294329974788 …

      But they WANT so much more than that, and are angry at "those people" because they/we...somehow...are responsible for whatever has led to their particular grievance.

      At the time I was just thinking of the characterization of Willy Loman as the most famous pushy scumbag grifting loser in American literature But the play goes deep on how the fundamental tragedy of his life is he doesn't really want the things he wants, or even understand them

          He just wants them because other people want them, they're markers of status and success He barely remembers what it's like to take pleasure in something for its own sake, to take pride in accomplishing something you actually genuinely want to do

          His idea of what it means to be a salesman, his idea of real success, isn't even winning but cheating It's the idea of just being a cool enough person that people just give stuff to you

          Actually working hard at something for its own sake to be good enough at it to organically reap rewards from it is for foureyes and squares The pleasure is in bullshitting, making up a fantasy of a more successful version of you, and having your bullshit magically come true

          It's this really toxic view of the American Dream that you immediately recognize if you walk into any seminar full of sales professionals trying to find the secret to get rich quick from some motivational speaker And it's really shocking to see just how pure an example Trump is

          I don't think Trump is happy I think even when he's "happy" he's unhappy That line from Biff in the play when he finally breaks free, describing why he tanked his job interview

          He couldn't understand why he was in this guy's office, surrounded by people and stuff he didn't care about or understand, with the goal of getting a job to *stay* in that office and *continue* to be surrounded by stuff he didn't care about or understand, *forever*

          The whole thing about bullshitting and faking it till you make it - you're fucking yourself over too It's bullshit because you don't actually want to be here, you don't want to do this job, and if you did you wouldn't *have* to fake it

          It's so transparent and tragic that Trump doesn't really *want* to be a leader, he doesn't *want* to have the responsibility that comes with authority None of these people do, they're the proverbial dogs chasing cars, they can only destroy and never create

          We have a whole damn party that has as part of its explicit identity that when they get in power they seek not to govern, that they think government is tyranny Best case scenario this is just naked hypocrisy to win votes, worst case they mean it

          And yeah it's extremely dangerous to have people running around whose only interest is in winning the election, not in doing the job People motivated by stupid ego are way more dangerous than people motivated by bribes - ego's hunger can't be satisfied and constantly escalates

          I'm now thinking about the surprisingly insightful backstory Larry Hama wrote for Cobra in GI Joe Cobra starting out not as a political party or a militia or a religious cult, although it later becomes all those things But as a grifting MLM started by a disgruntled salesman
