Contrary to popular belief, it’s not all fire and brimstone, and unlike what’s happening on Earth, our weather is highly predictable. You can read about it in Dante’s travel blog. Our third and ninth circles are actually quite refreshing.
For example, in Circle Three, we force people to lie in a slushy mix of shadows and putrid water, subjecting them to never-ending icy rain. Sure, it’s a pretty miserable experience, but compared to what’s currently happening in Arizona, you might find it invigorating.

And there is good reason for that role to hold its exalted place in the mythos of the office. Trump’s “American Carnage” was no doubt shaped by the dark, nativist views of his Gollum-like muse. Obama’s West Wing–era hopey-changey optimism was colored by the earnest and youthful pod-bros who wrote for him. And Bush’s Chesterton-infused evangelizing was sculpted by the faith of Michael Gerson and Matthew Scully.
