That one has gone from being an obviously ludicrous proposition, designed to get a laugh in a sitcom, to being a guiding principle of the Stop The Steal movement. Life imitating art, I suppose, for maybe 25% of Americans. Whatever the percentage is, that's a lot of people who completely failed to recognise George's idea as a joke.  |
That's been a guiding principle much longer than Trump's been around. And for all kinds of things. From theocracies to folk myths to dietary fads to economic bubbles. Tulip mania anyone? The Nazis were big fans of the
principle too. So were the communists. It's probably been around in some fashion ever since we humans set up hierarchies.
Who ever said Seinfeld was a show about
nothing anyway? Probably underselling it a bit now that I've gotten to thinking about it.
