Bannon has called Trump “a blunt instrument
for us.” Finer-tooled instruments
— smarter and shrewder
demagogues than the movement’s
current titular head — may already be suiting up in the wings.
Rich's latest piece offers up not much in the way of solace
or optimism, but maybe, in exchange, we get historical perspective. As Rich sees
it, all the right-wing movements from Father Coughlin up through George Wallace
have fueled Donald Trump. But with this difference, Trump being the first to assume
national office, his movement is fortified to be cohesive for the long haul.
Like I said, not optimistic, but who needs optimism when
things are going so well?
