As the 1980s wore on, both of them became increasingly appalled by their government's actions in Central America, where the Reagan administration, ostensibly fearful of Soviet encroachment in America's backyard, was violently subverting the socialist revolution in Nicaragua and propping up the repressive right-wing client states of El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala.

The evaluations of material objects are largely humorous: Cory Arcangel's "Permanent Vacation" (2008) consists of two computers emailing one another on a loop, each immediately responding with an out-of-office message; Mark Benson's "Open Fields" (2015) takes the most popular office plants sold by retailers like Staples and crams them into uncomfortable spaces, entirely subverting their purposes.

If the GOP is able to hold its majority or (as looks more likely, given current polling) pick up a seat or two, a firm Trumpist majority will be in place ready to govern with the principle that what's good for Trump is good for the Republican Party, and subverting the rule of law is definitely good for Trump.

A community of trolls on an internet platform is, in political terms, not totally unlike a fascist movement in a weak liberal democracy: It engages with and uses the rules and protections of the system it inhabits with the intent of subverting it and eventually remaking it in their image or, if that fails, merely destroying it.

He is clearly having a blast subverting his own persona — the warped mirror Manganiello is the kind of guy that would childishly pout in his bedroom during his own party, stuffing his face with chips while wearing a tuxedo — and there's a not-so-subtle sexual tension between the two that feels pulled from the earliest days of the Pee-wee character.

And healthy gamers, no matter their gender, understand that — limiting their rapaciousness to the virtual world in the same way no sane person watches a Tom Cruise "Mission Impossible" flick and decides to flirt with treason by subverting the C.I.A.

Which is surprising, partly because he's Michael Bolton, and partly because, for the last two decades, we've been conditioned to think that the only way celebrities can incorporate themselves into comedy is by either becoming easy punchlines (I'm With Busey, ugh) or by playing jerkier, image-subverting versions of themselves (a semi-recurring plot-ploy on such shows as Larry Sanders, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Extras).

Listen to our Game of Thrones podcast on iTunes and Spotify While Game of Thrones ultimately rejects the might-makes-right philosophy of Dany, the conclusion it offers is far less radical than you might expect from a show that relied so heavily on subverting expectations: that the best and perhaps only way to advance the cause of justice is not to break the wheel but to slightly rearrange the spokes.

This game may begin with some zombies, but they're only one facet of a story that involves a violent mutiny, the rise of two fascist warlords (one of whom just happens to be right about what's going on, but is such a violent and repellent character that they end up isolated and defeated), corporate interests corrupting judgment in ways large and small, and an alien collective slowly infecting and subverting the will of its most suggestible victims.

Trump has fueled this anger and solidified his support among "his anti-immigrant and socially conservative supporters," combating this "alleged white victimization," King and Smith argue, by requiring: protectionist measures including tolerating racial profiling in policing and reversing some extant civil rights policies; subverting others through deregulation or neglect; and favoring measures which go beyond colorblindness, such as stop-and-frisk practices and demands for identification triggered by racial and ethnic identities, as well as anti-Muslim immigration restrictions.

Sadly for this newspaper's web traffic, this will not be a column about the mounting evidence linking Melania Trump to Kremlin handlers, the timeline that proves that she's been running her husband as a Russian agent since the 1990s or the deep Cold War-era connections between her Slovenian circle and the K.G.B. Instead, I want to talk about the striking contrast between Donald Trump's strange Russian romance and the way that the Communists in Frankenheimer's movie went about their America-subverting scheme.

It is, rather, a practice utilizing these previous visual styles in one or more of three key ways: First, as a conceptual foundation — artistically investigating, dissecting and exploring the aesthetic and culture of Graffiti and Street Art; second, as a methodological tool — using the techniques and methods of Graffiti and Street Art yet subverting their traditional regulations and codes; and third, as an ethical imperative — using the independent ethic (rather than aesthetic) of Graffiti and Street Art, as a way of understanding the world, appreciating one's environment rather than as a simple visual regime.

Bernhard, who is an expert witness for election integrity activists in a lawsuit filed in Georgia to force officials to get rid of paperless voting machines used in that state, said the issue of security ties and seals came up in the lawsuit earlier this year when Fulton County Elections Director Richard Barron told the court that his Georgia county relies on tamper-evident metal and plastic ties to seal voting machines and prevent anyone with physical access to the machines from subverting them while they sit in polling places days before an election.
