John, here's one for you I wrote: ‘Art Trumpo’ : We had Art Nouveau from the 1880’s- WW I, with it's long organic lines, “ whiplash”curves, and asymmetry. Then came Art Deco with sharp angles, and geometrical shapes until a shift produced Modernism post 30’s. We've entered the Art Trumpo era, while gold prevails, featuring bold black heavy lines with suffocating lack of spaces. Will this trend in art survive? My question to you, John.
David is correct in describing the decline of men in our society. Unfortunately, the Right has decided "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" when is comes to embracing victimhood culture. It's far easier (and financially lucrative) to blame The Left for the decline of men, and embrace faux masculinity from a clown like Trump, than to actually do the hard work of making sure men have mentors and other male father figures and role models to guide them.
As David points out, there is SOME legitimacy in the idealogical reasons for the decline of men. I have never understood the Zero sum gain theory that in order for women to be successful, men have to be unsuccessful, or in order for black folks to success, white folks need to fail. Why not strive for a society where everyone has a chance to succeed?

Two like-minded people.
On most things, yes. Thanks for the compliment.
