The writer, the singers, the actors, they all tend to support Mrs. Harris.
What should we derive from that? That if Mr. Trump is defeated Americans will be singing all day, dancing all they, watching films and reading stories all day?
That's the same as Panem et circenses in the time of ancient Romans. Shallow appeasement. This is the message I get from seeing Ms Taylor, Mr, Sprignsteen and others at the conventions of Mrs. Harris.
Whereas, when I see Mr. Musk at the convention of Mr, Trump, my thought goes to 'pure genius', 'pure efficiency', 'assured economical development'.
When I see Mrs. Gabbard at trump's conventions, I think about 'Thoughtful and sensiblee political reasonings'.
Steve, you can say I'm old-fashioned, but I would prefer the serious stuff to the panem et circenses proposed by Mrs. harris.
Wiki quote:
"Bread and circuses" (or bread and games; from Latin: panem et circenses) is a metonymic phrase referring to superficial appeasement. It is attributed to Juvenal (Satires, Satire X), a Roman poet active in the late first and early second century AD, and is used commonly in cultural, particularly political, contexts.
In a political context, the phrase means to generate public approval, not by excellence in public service or public policy, but by diversion, distraction, or by satisfying the most immediate or base requirements of a populace,[1] by offering a palliative: for example food (bread) or entertainment (circuses). Juvenal originally used it to decry the "selfishness" of common people and their neglect of wider concerns.[2][3][4] The phrase implies a population's erosion or ignorance of civic duty as a priority.
