symbolism

Because I’ll admit, I didn't always understand the power of symbolism.

Trump, as a White man, also possesses great meaning and power in the symbolism and historical meaning of his body and power.

With the government's intent on stamping out the deadly habit, the resurgence of the cigarette - and the cigfluencers - may be more of a passing trend than a lasting cultural shift, particularly as its appeal is less about the act itself and more about the aesthetic and symbolism it represents.

It's hard to know how Trump sees the symbolism of an MSG campaign event — it could just be that it's the ultimate New Yorker venue, it could be that he sees it as an act of threat and intimidation by showing strength in a traditional Democratic city, or it could be more menacing.

The symbolism is quite strong on both sides of this election, and it highlights the contrast between the two candidates and two very different views of America's future: Trump's America is fascist; Harris' America is democratic.
