I like how modern storytelling represents a species-focus on 'pilgrimage politics.'
How will President Trump fit into this 'pedestrian culture'? Will he be pro-populism (like Bill Clinton) or pro-Utopian (reminiscent of Reaganomics)?
'Folkism' during the Trump Administration will be shaped by 'street-gossip,' IMO.

Oliver Queen was taking stock of his life. A born-socialite, Oliver decided to devote his life to vigilantism and honed his super-skills in archery and became America's most sincere vigilante --- the Green Arrow. Arrow teamed up with Hal Jordan (Green Lantern), Bruce Wayne (Batman) and Selina Kyle (Catwoman) to take on an 'army of darkness' in the span of 10 years in America's most commercial urban hubs (i.e., NYC, Los Angeles, Gotham, etc.). The team was known as the Four Incredibles, and the press hailed them as the Four Horseman/woman of the Apocalypse.
The Four Incredibles dealt with a terrible continental menace known as Black Hand which was comprised of Ivan the Terrible (a druglord in British Columbia), Black Cat (a stewardess and 'baroness' of the opium underworld), Snake (a masked maniac wielding fear-toxins), and a drove of soldiers, drones, goons, and ghouls (such as Eight-Head, a knife-wielding alley-assassin who decapitated people). Black Hand had developed an intricate crime labyrinth/syndicate which stretched across the North American continent.
During one mission, the Four Incredibles contended with a synthetically-enhanced 'super-freak' generated in a 'lab' (more or less) --- a chemically pumped-up brute named Bane. Bane was a giant bully, and he was considered the 'Mr. Hammer' of the Black Hand --- its truest 'gargoyle' and henchman. Bane was terrorizing a circus event in Los Angeles and not even 10 policemen were able to coordinate their strength/abilities to tackle him. It took Green Arrow's archery (tranquilizer-tipped arrows), Green Lantern's blinding torch-light, Batman's rope-gun, and Catwoman's tear-gas grenades to take Bane down.
Green Arrow (Oliver Queen) was not mentally busy writing a 'memoir' of the 'adventures' of the Four Incredibles and how the 'New Utopia' (or crime-less 'Paradise') would remember the now-termed Days of Tribulation as an era of untempered ambition (e.g., British colonialism), bigotry (e.g., Nazism), science tragedies (e.g., Chernobyl), global trophies (e.g., United Nations), values think-tanks (e.g., MIT), supernatural transgressions (e.g., Salem Witch Trials), monster-hunts (e.g., Charles Manson), and 'imaginarium islands' (e.g., Disney World). Arrow wrote, "The Four Incredibles are working with U.S. President Donald Trump to establish an 'adventure-odyssey' theme-park in a dense American forest. Guests participate in forest-hunting team missions meant to signify humanity's progression from primalism to nationalism in the first 'epoch' of Earth history."
