   [According to Hofstadter:  This question relies on assumptions   
   which are false; it is therefore fundamentally flawed and cannot   
   be answered in a meaningful way.  Sort of like the old "Have you   
   stopped beating your wife yet?" stuff.]   
      
   So, you're trying to create your own myth about the current   
   political situation in the US, specifically the 2016 Democrat   
   primaries, by connecting it with Tolkien's myths in some way.   
      
   You're also refusing to share what your own myth is, only   
   alluding to its existence.   
      
   Hmm...
