Summary:

"Ancestors and Algorithms appears online in issue 2 of Fictional Journal and is reproduced in the Propaganda pdf document. In 2000, Dan Greaney, the writer of The Simpson's cartoon, imagined Donald Trump as the president of the United States in the episode Bart to the Future, and he admits that the idea "was pitched because it was consistent with a vision of America going insane." The show creates an unimaginable scene, the embodiment of its viewer's worst nightmare and hilarious fantasy that has since become reality. A global dissatisfaction with liberal democracy has cleared the political stage for right-wing populists such as Trump and many others to propagate their ideals of white supremacy, harking back with nostalgia to a time of proposed prosperity, jobs, safety and "greatness" which has never existed in the manner which they suggest..."-- provided by distributor.
