[Editorial]
I woke up this morning and was watching the news coverage of the weigh-in at the Lincoln Memorial when the announcer's tone gave me a sudden flashback to The Hunger Games. The symbolism of a government-associated setting, the large public spectacle, the cheering crowds, and the normalization of combat as entertainment—all amplified by the announcer's echoing voice—triggered a distinct sense of déjà vu.
The theatrical build-up, the booming voice of the presenter, and the ominous presence of the "Cage" all felt like elements lifted straight out of a dystopian novel. Are we watching modern-day Gladiators at the Colosseum?
Has our government under Trump truly become a dystopian reality?
