Merle -
By some measure, didn't we just experience a "bloodless" revolution just
under a year ago?
Didn't the 1% and the Evangelicals enlist the mainstream Conservatives
to rally the unwashed masses to help them put a manipulable (if not
predictable or exactly controllable) clown on deck to play "loose canon"
for them? They got a Cabinet made up (almost?) exclusively of
themselves (Evangelical Pence and 1% DeVoss et, al) and (re)stacked the
Supreme Court in their favor, and at least threw a lot of chaff in the
air by stirring things up with Mexico, the Islamic world, NK, Russia,
etc. while kicking as many legs out from under the stool of social
progressiveness as they could?
The Republican controlled Congress are not prepared for *leading*,
nearly as much as obstructionism. So their is a LOT of confusion and
incompetence in both branches of the Gov't right now... a pretty weak
result from a "revolution" one might think, but effective at least at
disrupting Progress(ive momentum).
On the other hand, it does feel like it sets the stage for "yet another"
backlash against all of that meanness, corruption, myscompetence. This
supports Glen's idea that in spite of all the above, things *might be*
on a good track in spite of the apparent chaos?
I wonder if the "grassroots" aren't a lot more ready to take sweeping
issues more seriously (positively?) than pre Trump or if Hillary were in
office? Sort of a "backlash" of it's own?
