Reality is worse than the Watchmen.
Alan Moore’s legendary graphic novel turned film ‘Watchmen’ is famous for it’s dark, gritty, anti-heroic dystopian perspective.It mocks the utopian ideology of Superhero comic books and juxtaposes it against real life history. Moore cleverly used real life 20th century historic examples peppered within the storyline to give it a quasi-realistic effect however it was always meant to be regarded as a work of fiction.
Bearing that in mind . . earth’s scientists have decided (mainly because of Trump) that we are closer to midnight than in the film . . by almost halfway.

The Doomsday clock in the Watchmen film being set to 5 – midnight.
The REAL Doomsday clock being set to 2.5 minutes to midnight.
I know we’vehad months to adjust and anticipate the daunting prospect (or lack of) a Trump presidency, but still . . . . there is just no expecting this.
If a comparison of a real life event something from one of the most depressing,apocalyptic violent, nihilistic stories ever written isn’t enough of a warning to society in these most postmodern of times. . Then perhaps we should give up!
