This will be history, alive...

This isn’t something that I’d planned to put together. But maybe someone who’s flipping through tags is dragging their feet on doing the right thing today, and needs a new way into it. So if you’re someone who’s being dragged down with nebulous negativity and resentment about the next leader of the free world, take a new perspective and think about why.

I am not going to go entirely off-topic and make the affirmative case for Hillary Clinton. I happen to agree with the most enthusiastic and least equivocal arguments out there, but they’re already out there. Nor am I going to get too deep into the weeds on specific character comparisons. 

This is, instead, a case for using fiction that is purposefully at a remove from the real world as a critical angle for introspection about assumptions we make about the real world. Think of it like a side-view mirror check: no matter how conscientiously you observe traffic laws, you have blind spots that you need to check.
