I'm very much in Hannah Arendt thought space right now. It's stark how Trump is completing her idea of the householdization of public life.

This is the 'death of the public' she foresaw. For now, the market remains a public, agora pinch-hitting as an inadequate polis. Won't last.

I've started feeling trying to understand Trump under standard political theory is futile. We need good theory of reality TV.
