Sometimes I think people drawn to Hunter’s work make the mistake of thinking that Hunter was only concerned with the main characters of power itself (ie, Nixon), and not how those main characters in our democratic Republic are a projection of the ugliness of the American psyche as a whole. What’s far scarier and saddening is that there’s *a whole lot of people* out there that exercised their vote for this ugly reality. It’s very grim.

“This maybe the year when we finally come face to face with ourselves; finally just lay back and say it—that we are really just a nation of 220 million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns, and no qualms at all about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable.” - hst

It is becoming harder and harder to maintain my 'Gonzo' amidst all the ugliness that spews forth in torrents from this administration. We need someone like Hunter to rise to the occasion and pick apart these evil bastards and lay their splayed viscera out for all witness. Nobody has the fortitude for that kind of an attack on the Giant Orange Pedophile (GOP). Where are all the award winning journalists now when the freedom of the whole of this nation hangs on the precipice? Guess they are all scared for their lives like the rest of us...

Appreciate this. I think a lot of people feel this way.

Do they really? And is it strictly a function of age finally catching up to the protagonist or is it a personal breaking point in which the exuberant energy and excitement of resistance have simply been depleted by the system? Because that's what it feels like.
