Exactly. And I'm not surprised it makes you furious.
The time for rising on the left has passed. Some of us gave it a shot when it might have made a difference. When the Busheviks were still weak and frail. It was futile. It was futile in part because those we were relying on for support, guidance, and leadership either had been or were in the process of being co-opted. Or they were really after entirely different goals anyway.
Whoops. Live and learn.
The potential for rising NOW is on the Right. With a fury like none before.
The Revolution has already taken place. It started in earnest in 1981 with the advent of Reaganism in the White House. It is consolidating and perfecting itself right now as we contend with one another. Anything at the national level that jeopardizes THAT Revolution is subject to revolt from the Right. Capice? No? You don't get it?
Prate away about how I don't know what I'm talking about then...
