Watching Project Blue Book (it’s like a light-beer X-Files you know?) and it’s got all the good stuff…aliens and unexplained phenomena and government conspiracies and men in trench coats and fedoras “cleaning up messes” like patriotic janitors except reality keeps intruding…Trump’s so bad you know nothing’s getting covered up.
X-Files debuted just as we were wrapping up our time with George H. W. Bush who was proceed by Regan…those dudes were sinister they clearly operated and orchestrated agendas in the shadows.
People vanished during their administrations and lives and lies were credibly discredited. X-Files was masterfully unsettling not just because of the good writing but because Americans freely elected Presidents who called black ops…just: ops.
I dunno who is gonna win in 2020 but hopefully it’s some menacing dude otherwise everything’s gonna be set in creepy China where people still slip in the shower, get their brakes mysterious cut, vanish like Hoffa and there’s nothing to see here move along.
