Love him or hate him, Donald Trump exposed the deep fissures that had already been running through American society for years. People blame Trump for causing conflict, but all Trump did was expose the shear points where conflict was already going to erupt. He merely brought it to the surface faster—before it had had a chance to mature—and allowed all of us to see it, to experience it, to be awash in it... and then to pick sides. I hate to put it in stark terms, but a distanced, uncommitted relativism is no longer possible. If you don't know what you stand for, prepare to get lost in the coming conflict.
(I wonder if, at some point during this show, Rogan took Rock to task for drinking that Bud Light. Stupid move on Rock's part.)
