Postscript:<\/strong> Oct. 30 \u2014 An email arrived this morning from Germany: “Have a look at the attached photo. That’s an article in the S\u00fcdeutsche Zeitung<\/em> about Christian nationalism, Trump, and the Republicans in America. They used a collage by one Felix Hunger. Here’s a link to the paper’s website, where there is a short animation of that same collage. Evidently Felix is the art director at the paper. I don’t think I need to say more. Coincidence? Synchronicity? Plagiarism? Who knows these days, as AI burrows into the last bastions of reality & truth.”<\/p>\n\n\n
