Conservatism: The Saddest Time Machine
Of all the hopes, dreams and aspirations for time travel, conservatives once again bewilder and mystify with their full bore march to the past.
Time Machines were made famous in the H.G. Wells novella The Time Machine, published in 1895. Iconic films such as Planet of the Apes (1968), Back to the Future (1985) and Interstellar (2014) present some of the most memorable on-screen imaginings of time travel. Whatever the context, it’s thrilling, dangerous and unpredictable. It motions us to caution, but reason is always overtaken by the call of adventure.
Time travel is intangible which is what makes it so alluring. No one person’s idea is more valid than than another’s and from a pure fantasy perspective it is limitless and I expect it will thrill and engage people as long as there are people.
Conservatism is not thrilling, but it’s definitely dangerous.
It’s not unpredictable either, but no car has ever been more aggressively driven in reverse, and no greater number of American systems have failed to issue as much as a speeding ticket. Sad!
It’s an election year in America.
Though we’re not talking explicitly about time machines — electric sharks…
