Let's go ahead and do a WORLD IS FLAT/US IS FLAT image, and combine that with a 'vertical totalitarian integration', POST BELOW, image, for our viewers, and see what that, combined, looks like:
It is an image toward which the Tea Party, conservative religious right Republicans, many many Democrats, and even market-state, Casanova Hand, lazy fare afficionados, have been, inexorably, inclining.
It will have the economically hollowed out, and now squashed-flat, American economy, as a flat lateral pancake;
and the totalitarian, vertical, oligopolistic, media-global-industrial integration, discussed most recently by Krugman, although these are certainly not his terms or interpretation, but mine, as the vertically integrated market capitalist post.
When these two pieces are combined, pancake suspended on the vertical post, we will thus see a large Christian-looking 'cross'.
The sign of the cross, so to speak. Simple, really.
The caption above might read:
POLITICAL PARTIES' CRUSADE RAPPROCHEMENT
The one below:
'A Global Moral Pillar for a Flat Nation in a Flat World:
The End of History, and The Last Man,
Again and Again'
OR
'Entre Chien Et Loup:
At Night, All Cats are Gray
At Night, All States are Flat'
