Just because I understand what can lead to violence does not mean I condone violence. And just because I understand that Trump supporters feel that everyone has betrayed them (which is probably true, because that’s what politicians do) does not mean I think that’s a useful mental state moving forward. We must rebuild a strong, constitutional movement that can pick up the pieces when the left implodes. (And yes, I think it will implode.)
I’ll start with that last point, the one that promises that the left will not be able to maintain its power forever. Past leftist revolutionary movements have been coherent: The working class, the German people, or the peasants arrayed against the evil moneyed classes.
This revolution, however, has been led by the evil moneyed classes, almost all of whom, except for Oprah, are white. They’ve cobbled together a revolutionary army by gluing together disparate groups of people who feel victimized, not by money, but by their own very distinct outlier identities: blacks, homosexuals, transgenders, Hispanics, women, handicapped people, Muslims, and on and on, as they divide themselves into ever-smaller micro victim classes.
This army was fine when it was driven by the frenzy to displace Trump and gain power (although the Muslims and the leftist Jews never did make common cause). They’ve now attained the pinnacle. They control the federal government. Their problem is that they’ve never been coherent about anything but their unified hatred against Trump and Republicans.
With political power comes personal power and lots of money. I foresee the same diversity they’ve championed on the path upwards being their downfall as they fight over the spoils. Indeed, I think the Squad is already plotting to toss Pelosi overboard.
