There appears to be a business model in political comedy (e.g. Stewart, Colbert, Oliver, SNL) and media (e.g. MSNBC, NYT Opinion) that is dependent on pointing out the Leviathan’s contradicting rhetoric and behavior.
If this point makes sense, are these models falling into a Leviathan trap?
You note in the essay that the Leviathan's words "serve only as a means for sustaining or acquiring more power." This insight is absent from prominent "liberal" news and entertainment programming when covering Trump with criticism. Rather than naming the power structure and offering alternatives such as freedom-with, they're playing into Trump's game.
Thank you for this totally brilliant piece. No doubt about it, Trump is the American Leviathan and must be defeated.

Ask me to share more if this doesn’t make sense.
Yeah, share more. I'm not sure what you mean.
