WAS DEMOCRACY JUST A DREAM?

T he American Dream. It used to mean a job\, a house\, a car\, a spouse\, 2. 5 kids\, and a .4 dog. But what does it mean now? For Gabriel Pearce\, a B lack man tired of liberal failures\, on the day after the presidential ele ction it means victory! Giving up on progressivism wasn’t easy\, but casti ng his vote for a Conservative who promises to be grateful could mean a dr eam come true. However\, for his daughter Paine – a teacher at a universit y caught between protesting students and threats to funding – it’s a night mare! Or was the lost election just a dream? Or will A.I. catch fire\, lik e Paine’s boyfriend Oliver sees in his nightmares? Do androids dream of el ectronic voting? Can we create the utopia of justice activist student Emma hopes for\, or is the present just a dream within a dream within a dream? But whether you’re asleep or Woke what some see as nightmares others see as… American Dreams.
