Post-Election Italo-Trumpism: Parts One and Two
thomas cole -
'desolation' is the post-election mood among my friends and colleagues so i have chosen it from among thomas cole's five part series 'the course of empire' desolation. i preferred john martin's 'sodom and gemorrah' but my wife thought that implied too much blame for the voters. maybe if he is re-elected?
The day after the Presidential election I was in England to deliver the keynote address at the University of Central Lancashire’s “Fieldwork Photography Symposium.” I had already voted for Hillary Clinton on the Working Families Party line by absentee ballot from Brooklyn. My opening remarks were “Yesterday there was a battle in the U.S.A. between the Anti-Christ and the Whore of Babylon, and the Anti-Christ won.” Given that many in the audience had mistakenly voted for Brexit and were now suffering the consequences of populism, I knew they’d understand the metaphor.

U.S.A. Presidential Election 2016: The Italian American Report
I-ItalyNY
For our readers, I-ItalyNY provided a table with updated figures for Italian American residents in each borough with the 2016 Presidential Election votes for Clinton and Trump left blank to fill as results become available on election night.
Who will New York City’s Italian Americans voters favor in the upcoming Presidential Election in November? Based on statistical analyses and past voting performance it will be the Republican Party candidate Donald Trump. However, because of the growing number of more liberal Italian American New Yorkers, especially among the young and women, the margin might not be as HUGE as expected.

"God Machine" "Deus ex Machina"
GOD MACHINE. Trump coming down his gold escalator. An ancient Greek theater device for the God to come save the day, save the play, save a down-the-tubes situation. What the Titanic needed. God out of no-where. Also: Trump must have studied "The Secret."
