‘This is not the time to shrink. Not the moment to despair. This is the moment for that classic, larger-than-life, slightly gay, incredibly well-dressed, incredibly cool Disney villainy. That punk rock, shitty black parade guerrilla. This is our era of villains.
‘Make art. Fuck, fuck. Build power. “They are about to learn that the hardest thing about gaining power is keeping it.”

It meant that Trump had won three of the key states, making victory inevitable.
“It’s real,” shouted a young fan who ran to the front of the crowd like it was a mosh pit, high-fiving friends and strangers.
Trump was joined on stage by family members, including his daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner, who had been absent from the campaign, aides and political supporters.
He thanked his followers and promised a golden era for the nation.
As he invited his running mate to the microphone, Senator JD Vance said the result marked a notable change in political fortunes.
“I thank you for the trust you placed in me,” he said, “and I believe we have just witnessed the greatest political comeback in the history of the United States of America.”
Four years ago, Trump was a defeated man. Within months he had left Washington DC under a cloud after his supporters ransacked the US Capitol.
The allies abandoned him and he went into exile at Mar-a-Lago.
On Tuesday night, he was surrounded by fans, friends and family at his Florida home as he reclaimed his crown.
He led them to the stage of the Palm Beach County Convention Center, where he gave his victory speech in front of hundreds more supporters who had waited hours to see him.
“Most of all, I want to thank the millions of hard-working Americans across the country who have always been the heart and soul of this great movement,” he said.
“We’ve been through a lot together, and today you showed up in record numbers to achieve a victory like really… probably… like no other.” “This was something special.”
The first big call aired in the room at 11:25 p.m., when North Carolina went to Trump.
The energy of the crowd quickly went from nervous excitement to joy mixed with relief.
