This media-culture Utopian tale (my final one!) was inspired by the populism-paranoia film Bulworth.

Signing off,

Two forms of populism politics arose in the new age of Facebook-gauged 'society etiquette.' The first 'faction' was comprised of radical film-makers, philosophers and fashion models, and of course anarchists. This faction was known as the Reds. The second 'faction' was comprised of high-profile society icons/celebrities, well-to-do 'princes of civilization,' and of course, princesses. This faction was known as the Blacks.

The Reds were devoted to free-speech, idealism-based politics, commerce-driven negotiations between America and North Korea, and art-oriented social etiquette. The Blacks were devoted to centralized government, authority-driven legislative powers, and celebrity-based cultural prestige. Political theorists suggested the Reds were like Hamiltonian Federalists, while the Blacks were more like Jeffersonian Democrats, but everyone agreed that if this rift persisted, America would face a 'cultural civil war.'

To settle the argument, an idealistic New Yorker writer suggested that the 'winner' of this 'culture contest' should be the group that best typifies the American values conducive for the espousing of democracy-based political leadership/captaincy of America in other parts of the troubled world (e.g., Northern Ireland, North Korea). The leader of the Blacks, a powerful American celebrity, had a natural distrust of 'IRA-politics,' and the leader of the Reds, a Civil War historian, decided to capitalize on this 'paranoia' by using Facebook to launch an 'MTV-based Cranberries (Irish rock band) campaign.' President Trump called this little American culture struggle the 'War of the Roses.'
