That’s an awesome idea, count me in!

Thanks, I'll put that on my reading list. Meanwhile, the scene you described raises several questions (that are perhaps answered in the novel?). Why is the first woman sobbing? What is the relationship between the two women? Is the second woman fearful for herself, or for the first woman?

It's the atmosphere of fascism, that's all. There's no place in it for an emotional breaking down! We don't know anything about the cause of the woman's sorrow, but the second woman is in a panic that she might be blamed if she doesn't get this person and her shameful emotions out of sight. Her unhappiness, among other things, is a criticism of the government's insistence that life with the fuhrer is perfect. So good citizens show only disgust at the sight of a woman like this, to show their loyalty. Just like people now line up to say mean things about people Trump hates, like AOC. Even tho they know nothing about her really. It's awful, don't you think?

Yes, everything about this is awful, most pointedly the frequency in which apt parallels can be drawn between the contemporary political climate in the USA and that of Germany in the early 1930's.

He must know his audience better than we do.

"David Duke name dropped me in public, and... nothing. They'll never figure it out. Never."

"Steals? NO! THAT IS FAKE NEWS!!...I sold it to the man with the odd coloring and sulforous body odor."

"The devil??"

"What? No. Donald Trump."

Oh, everything she said is bollocks, it’s just evidence that she’s a total Donnie stan and always has been.

They don't want to listen to me about the miracles of trepanning.

Guess what, Tuckeroonies - the boy is rich, was born that way and is glad you’ll never be...just like your β€˜favorite President’, doncha know...

That is the only Tucker Carlson appearance that I would ever want to watch again.

Other than that, I can only wonder why the Foxeratti are so attracted to facial bloat. Hannity, Carlson, Trump himself. It's like Botero without the whimsy.
