If and when Obama wins the election, there will be a throng of seething, angry right wingers who buy into the message of the McCain-Palin campaign who feel marginalized, threatened and resentful. I would like to say that we can ignore these people, but I am worried that they will morph, like conservatives did over the last quarter century, into a movement out for revenge and eager to regain power. I am worried that if this happens, the repercussions, should they attain power, will be worse than they were this time around.
So how does Obama deal with them? Can and should they be appeased? Or are they a dying breed about whom I am overly concerned? I wish I knew.
