Donald Trump at High Noon"The classic Western film High Noon, released in 1952, offers a compelling analogy to the Trump presidency.
Set in New Mexico territory sometime in the late 1800s, it starred Gary Cooper as Marshal Will Kane and Grace Kelly as Amy.
...He returns to Hadleyville and attempts to deputize other men in the town to help him face off the murderers.
But not one of the townsmen will agree to help.
They are all cowards (Republicans) in fear of their lives, or they are friends and admirers of the outlaw Frank Miller and want to welcome him back to the town (Democrats).
Bottom line?
Not one man will stand with Kane or defend the peace and safety he has brought to their town.
All the men he's tried to recruit only want Kane to leave; they think if he's not there, there will be no trouble, rather like those who want to dispense with ICE, DHS, and the police.
No law enforcement, no crime.
Sure.
We all know how that goes.
Like The Magnificent Seven, this film, too, proves the age-old truth that submission to evil brings only violence and grief.
It is generally "toxic" masculinity that saves the day..."
...Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling was the theme song from High Noon.
That lyric is as apt now as it was then.
Trump is constantly forsaken by the people who, if they had a spine, should be fighting as hard for him as he fights for us, for the country.
Did they listen to his speech at the UN?
This man is a great President..."
