When I was a bit younger, during the Bush era, I bought into people saying everything was historical and this was going to be the catalyst for some huge change in politics. The reality is more depressing, there’s just a constant stream of this kind of thing, and they just fades away and gets replaced in a couple weeks by the next thing. Since this is literally a mug shot of a president, yeah it’s a bit of a historic pic, but don’t get drawn into thinking it’s like The Symbolic Image That Will Define This Generation Of Politics. Although maybe 2016-2022 of U.S. politics to be fair, like if the news 30 years from now is going to show a montage of what happened in politics around now.
