A Postmodern President

Postmodernism is ten thousand different things and not to be pinned down by the likes of me, but an example of one facet of deconstructive thought is found in THIS MODERN WORLD, a cartoon strip by Tom Tomorrow. In a recent strip he had Rudy Giuliani saying, "Truth isn't truth! Also, objective reality is just a construct! If nothing is real, how can Donald Trump be guilty of anything?"

Postmodernism reached its sophomoric height after World War II. Some of its inventors were former Fascists or former members of the Nazi party. But how could they be guilty of anything? We gave them a pass.
