From their website:
On the cover: The illustrator Justin Metz borrowed the visual language of old Ray Bradbury and Stephen King paperbacks to portray a circus wagon on its ominous approach to a defiled Capitol. Something Wicked This Way Comes, Bradbury’s 1962 masterpiece, was a particular inspiration. We believe this to be the first cover bearing no headline or typography in The Atlantic’s 167-year history.

I immediately thought of a ringmaster at a circus, which would be quite fitting.

1950s Western Predicted a Border Wall From a Fictional Con Man Named Trump
1950s Western Predicted a Border Wall From a Fictional Con Man Named Trump
An episode of a 1950s western drama may have foretold America's current border wall crisis more than sixty years ago.

Or a side show diverting the Constitution into an autocratic overthrow.

I heard the Republicans are removing Fahrenheit 451 from libraries in Florida.

Bradbury got the quote from Shakespeare's MacBeth.
