Harris, and all the things associated with her side, represents Death. Not the Reaper as a final mercy, but Death of all things. Death of the future, because it will have been cancelled. Death of history because it is ideologically wrong. Death of the present too, weirdly enough, because the present exist only as the 0-dimensional concept between future and past.
Grey sludge is very apt. Organic material that stopped decomposing, and just sits there.
Trump, warts and all, represent Life. Messy, noisy, untidy, also promising and dangerous in equal amounts, and carried onward by the interplay of Order - because life is ordered and creates order - and of Chaos, because life is chaotic having no other meaning or purpose than being.
As such, Trump and Orban and many other like them offers the chance of a new dawn for Western civilisation as a whole, rather than the slow degrading wasting away administered by the Hillarys and Harrises.
Last night I was thinking along these terms, although perhaps influenced by the recent Diwali holiday my thoughts ran to how Trump’s enemies have made him into Ravana and how they imagine his supporters envision him to be Ram. (I think despite the populism and rallies and huge flags on the back of pick up trucks, Trump voters are less likely to make idols of men and more likely to instinctively understand the difference between personality and character. Because we are all assholes too— or sinners if you want to put it in religious terms— and we aren’t fooled by a wolf in sheep’s clothing saying “Baa” real persuasively.
Another aspect of the general last minute Trump vs. Harris discussion going on everywhere in the Substack this morning: https://jessicar.substack.com/p/why-donald-trump-would-be-a-good. Worse come to worst, take a hint from the Donald, and just let the grey sludge run off your shoulders and keep burrowing on. Billions of generations of us mud- and earth-dwelling metazoa can't all be wrong.
As a Canadian, I don’t have a vote in tomorrow’s U.S. election, but if I did, I would vote against the candidate and party whose anti- fossil fuel energy policies are enriching Iran and Russia and enabling those countries to wage war on Israel and Ukraine,both of whom I support.
when it comes to the alleged threat of Global Warming, I prefer the opinion of Richard Sigmund Lindzen to anyone on the other side.
It's even more fundamental than that.

And since you mention vacant:
"There's no point in asking, you'll get no reply
Oh, just remember I don't decide
I got no reason, it's all too much
You'll always find us out to lunch"

It's like the lyrics were written specifically with Hollywood celebrities and the current crop of the Democrats in mind.

(West) Germans underwent forced reeducation after WW2 from National Socialism to National Masochism.
The Rest of the West is now merely catching up in that regard.
...as we could see with the Badenoch election too:
