I managed to catch this

I managed to catch this essay.

As I wander through the web, knowing that the different sites are luring readers I thought this piece right on.

There is really nothing new about the far right wing.

Mostly white, mostly upper middle class, always funded by big money, spurred on by think tanks. Hell, it could be 1957 when all these folks were mad about the total socialist government we had during WWII and the lasting foundations of social welfare created by FDR. Add on Truman's edict freeing the slaves, so to speak by desegregating the military and we found an angry group of Americans.

This angry group will always be with us; sometimes exercising real power and other times stuck in the minority.

Of course they had to choose the Revolutionary War instead of the Civil War or WWI or WWII or whatever.

And besides, they get to keep using the word revolution.

Thought-provoking analysis,

Thought-provoking analysis, as is often the case with the author. Very much syncs with things I have been reading in the NYTimes the last few days, like:
