"The pendulum shifts and you remember people really respond to this kind of tribalism. Whenever a Republican becomes president, you just go, “Oh, right."... In my experience, the world of liberal progressive politics does include everyone. By its nature, it’s making sure everybody is included in this vision of America, and then with Trump or these other conservatives, you realize their vision of society does not include you. It’s not just about what we should spend our surplus or deficit on or how we should deal with our foreign affairs — it’s literally, like, “Do you belong in this country or not?” And that’s when you feel like your whole being is at stake."
That is Mike White chatting with Kyle Buchanan at Vulture in a Must Read today - it's not all icky politics, there's also a lot about Hollywood and oh right Mike's new movie Brad's Status out this Friday. Mike White continues to be the person to most emulate in the world, you guys. Anyway I know I keep dissing the trailer for Brad's Status but I realized just now I haven't actually shared the trailer, so here that is. Watch it and just keep telling yourself: Mike White is a genius, Mike White is a genius, Mike White is a genius...
