Apparently there's a whole series. It starts out called "Trump's Titans", then they started a new run and I've given up on this summary already. This. This whole thing. It's draining. It is a hot cobalt sphere of numbing smooth -- right through my brain. I wasn't even looking for political things, I found it by accident. They fight elon musk in the latest issue.

I've said before that Donald Trump represents a sea-change in american politics, the fusion of it with reality television programming. It's not like he was the first, John Stuart had already been turning political news into TV entertainment for a solid decade or so. But Trump marks the point where it becomes the new 'meta' -- and not just for the republicans. Considerations of policy, of strategy, of people's lives. It's been drained from discusion. I mean, it's not like it was great before, but it was there. Now... it's just empty back and forth about what figure A said about representitive B. Far more people are keeping up with it, but their keeping up with it in the most shallow way. "Ruthkanda forever".
