Imagine if Soviet politicians went inside for a speech because it was too cold.

Maybe they don't want some hogs freezing to death on the lawn trying to get a glimpse of Trump?

Politicians primarily conceived as brands seems the most fitting form of politics in a commodified society where identical products are re-invented over and over as different brands. Each brand attempts to persuade the public about their patented, utopian vision of life that only their product will offer if you buy (or elect) it. When your commodity is physically the same as that offered by a competing producer, then you either compete on price alone, or you brand your product such that its perceived to be different, although it would be impossible to tell in a double-blind test.

The American worldview is deeply capitalist-realist, and I think it will require reeducation if a revolution ever comes.

They were shutting down roads overnight in DC for the past month, not too sure what they were doing but I really doubt anything would have happened if he did it on the Mall

Oh damn, America is so car brained that not being able to drive to their sniper nest would actually get any would be assassin to give up, won't it?
