Wallace and Trump: Tragedy and Farce
Wallace's capture of five southern states in 1968, the death rattle of
overt racism, was a tragedy in that it severely limited the economic and
educational opportunities for generations in the Old South that have yet to
recover now more than a half century later. Like most products of our
ubiquitous mass media culture, Trump the
man is nothing more than a luminous façade carefully constructed from
audience-tested sound bites layered with empty homilies - a farcical reprise of
the traveling snake-oil salesman of old.
