“Now for wrath, now for ruin, and the red dawn!”

Tolkien preferred to write what he called “fairy stories”, where even though there was death and despair in the plot, there was a resolution and some type of happy ending. It’s why he decided to not write his idea of a sequel to LotR because it hit too close to reality and undid the closure.

If America is Gondor in this analogy, then I suppose the bigger battle with Sauron is climate change. Only there are no hobbits and a fool’s plan in the background to make it all work. Maybe in our reality the Shire was scoured first, wiping out that hope.

If that was arson, that was a really good throw
