When I say “notice how 90s issues we thought settled or even tabooed are suddenly live again”, tonight’s breakout US Presidential candidate is antidepressant-critical
That said. There’s total context collapse now, human followings are transferable from mass-appeal field to field: performing, acting, celebrity, spirituality, politics (which is why I have an eye on Taylor Swift).
And I said the 90s were back, and noticed women were witchy and zodiacal again, and how we were all post-rationalist and playing with Jewish and Christian myth now\u2026
Of course this neomystic wave was going to hit politics eventually, but I wasn’t even thinking of that.
Maybe because I coded it, at least in her form as female and dismissible? Hm. I hear there are woman pastors and bloggers birthing paganisms out of the rotting shell of American Christianity recently, maybe I should pay that more attention. I bet Sister Aimee would have a shot today.
I don’t think she’s a threat to win it though, she’s got a bold new style and positioning but it doesn’t really align along obvious cleavages like how Trump offered a party realignment. If Ben Carson had had her talent, eventually the question would still have come up “what are we supposed to be getting out of this?”
