Tolkien and the politics of power in modern times
Bloomberg Opinion columnist Andreas Kluth argues that Tolkien's Lord of the Rings offers a lens on contemporary politics. He compares Vance and Meloni to ring-wielding figures, notes Tolkien’s critique of power and alliance, and warns that Trump could resemble Sauron, while Vance would be Saruman. He cites Sam as moral balance and urges voter discernment before the November 5 election.
