Michael Moore gets it. He understands that politics follows the culture, not the other way around. He knows this so well that his to artistic call-to-arms is as matter of fact as it is sincere.
Moore is desperate to change the country into his vision of it. If he thought being a lawmaker would be the best route to accomplish that, he’d be a lawmaker. If he thought being a wombat was the best way, he’d be a wombat.
He chose pop culture and it was a very wise choice.
