All the Tired Horses in the Darkness

Splice Today 

As even most on the left realize, the lack of protests (and violence) and wailing after Trump’s reelection was simply because of the breadth of his victory. It’s difficult to organize a mass mobilization of “The Vote Was Stolen” adherents when the Nov. 5th champ won the popular vote, 312 Electoral Votes and the GOP now has all three branches of the government in its control.

Ominous foreshadowing leads to giant monsters, and probably to meddling aliens, and the monsters end up beating the hell out of each other before Japan and also the Earth are saved. But a simple story can interact with the culture and history from which it emerges in ways difficult for foreigners to entirely grasp.
