“the one with Tom Cruise and Michael Caine”
——oh, yeah, I think it was called “Hannah and her Few Good Sisters join The Firm”.
I don’t think there was any such movie.
The point is, that the entire story of this election would not be out of place as a conspiratorial thriller. Prior to the past year, few would have believed that all this could have happened outside of a political thriller. Now, we not only believe it, we can easily add bizarre subplots with just a few data points from reality, not because we are gullible rubes, but because we know enough that is true that is already quite frightening, if once unbelievable.
