"On the other hand, my point, which I have made quite clearly, is that there isn't going to be a Revolution from the Left (real or imagined Left) any time soon. If there is going to be (another) Revolution, beyond the Reaganite one, it's going to come from the Right, from the fractured, fear-ridden, and ever-more-put-upon Rightists, who can turn into a mob at the flick of a switch and wreak whatever havoc their tantrums lead to, and there is very little any of us can do about it. If they see their Revolution jeopardized by this Marxist/Socialist/Leninist/Stalinist/Maoist/Alien who's to be the President, believe me, they will rise.".... -- Ché Pasa
I tend to agree with this.
I'd also add that the Right seems to be utilizing religion as a force multiplier and as such, they are much stronger than their actual numbers would indicate. In anycase, the Right isn't dead by a long shot and it's doubtful if they ever will be.
