Mario's ONANtiad: experialism as an aesthetic affair — "an end to atomized Americans’ fractious…"

Experialism named as an aesthetics, not an ethics: national renewal is "an essentially aesthetic affair," a matter of a "Spotless America that Cleaned Up Its Own Side of the Street," and its emotional promise is "an end to atomized Americans' fractious blaming of one another." The politics is therapeutic-cosmetic — clean the surfaces, redirect the self-blame outward — which is why the Reconfiguration can be sold as tidiness rather than dispossession. The nation's ugliness is to be exported, not addressed.
