An article explaining the rise of Trump:
"There's this universal shorthand that epic adventure movies use to tell the good guys
from the bad. The good guys are simple folk from the countryside ...
... while the bad guys are decadent assholes who live in the city and wear stupid clothes:
The theme expresses itself in several ways -- primitive vs. advanced, tough vs. delicate,
masculine vs. feminine, poor vs. rich, pure vs. decadent, traditional vs. weird. All of it is
code for rural vs. urban. That tense divide between the two doesn't exist because of
these movies, obviously. These movies used it as shorthand because the divide already
existed.
We country folk are programmed to hate the prissy elites. That brings us to Trump."
