克林顿与特朗普之间存在一场真正的战争，就像欧盟迎战英国脱欧支持者；但对战双方与其说是敌人，不如说是同谋，他们之间维持着一个相互强化的无限循环，双方都用其反对的东西来定义自身并以此动员其支持者。
Clinton vs. Trump constitutes a genuine battle, for example, as does the European Union vs. the Brexiteers; but the combatants are accomplices, not foes, in perpetuating an endless loop of mutual reinforcement, with each side defined by – and mobilizing its supporters on the basis of – what it opposes.
