Old school America

oakfarmIn Norman Mailer's oddly named CIA-novel: Harlot's ghost*, one guy comment Ernest Hemingway’s suicide something like this: “Since I beat him in arm westling, I’m guilty to one ten thousandth**”. If Trump doesn’t win the next election, it's my work to 1/10^14th. That’s because I started to follow an American military veteran who supports Ukraine and claims his mission now is to stop Trump from becoming president: Jake Broe. Caring a big stick and wanting to protect the free world from the Russians - I’m going to take the liberty of calling that old school American masculinity. Like the upper half of this pic.
I want to comment it more, but it’s no reason to write more about it really.
* One main character is nicknamed “Harlot", that character was based on James Jesus “Mother” Angleton (1917-1987). I read it in Swedish and the title over here is: Patrioten, which you might correctly guess means: “The Patriot”.
** Here I, of course, translate the line from my memory, back to the original English. I’m not happy with the translation, but I hope it’s understandable.
