Coup d'état
To his credit, Michael Moore—famed film maker, political activist and provocateur— tried to put the genie back in the bottle, but attempted to do so with an appeal to Millennials fluctuating between empathy, praise, and a hard reality check.
In a series of personal letter appeals starting in July 2016, Moore tried to roll back Millennial depressed enthusiasm and/or unfavorableness for Hillary Clinton that his own narrative had echoed from the time she declared her candidacy April 12, 2015. Much of Bernie Sander’s rabid support by these 21 – 35 year old revolutionary claimants was vulcanized by the comparison of Clinton’s “negative shortcomings” to Sander’s “impeccable assets.” Thus the die was cast, despite Moore’s late attempt at reversal to avoid the Trump that’s come to pass.
Perhaps, if he and notable others had “Snapped Out of It” way sooner, we wouldn’t be here. Nevertheless, here we are. So Snap the F--k out of it! … Now repeat to yourself, It’s a coup d’état.
Carl
