This could be “cope” on my part, but I feel like Elmo is spreading his initiatives a bit too thin and is failing to capitalize on the benefits of subtlety and backroom dealing.
American-style pomp and bombast are good and all, but they need to serve an end purpose (e.g. manipulation, corruption, “personal brand development”). It’s one thing to tell the plebs your shit doesn’t smell, it’s a whole different thing to actually believe it.
I for one enjoy the current display that looks a lot like complete loss of self-control from the outside. However, I fear we might come to learn that it won’t have any impact whatsoever.
The sad thing is you’re probably right.
It would take massive social changes, setting Elmo as an explicit target (corruption, fraud) and unprecedented global political realignment.
