“Anything—and it seems everything—can be ‘made great again’… I have been wondering if there is something we might call againism that is related to, but distinct from, nostalgia… It wants to repeat. Even when what againism seeks to repeat might be—and most often is—a fantasy.”

“Againism, in this sense, is a structure of feeling. Those invited to participate in it are asked to detach from any sense of responsibility toward history and justice. Asked, in fact, to detach from knowing anything that might produce discomfort.”
