Through the Glasses Darkly
Topic: Politics and Law 12:30 pm EST, Nov 23, 2008

Before the election, In These Times published a version of Slavoj Žižek's Use Your Illusions essay.

To get the true Republican message, one should take into account not only what is said but what is implied.

"In a way, it’s better for you not to know."

Let us not be naïve here: Republican voters know there will be no real change. They know the same substance will go on with changes in style. This is part of the deal.

The Republicans’ between-the-lines message was this: We allow you to continue to dream.

The dream is over.
