1. The backlash is real because the ills of corporatism are real. The question is, as it was in 2008-2009, will this generalized backlash have enough staying power to effect meaningful change? OR, will the corporate machine effect a ‘soft landing’, meaning will it manage to create the illusion of change–enough to mollify the madding crowd–and then proceed on its merry way as if little or nothing happened? That’s what happened in 2008. After Wall Street was found in flagrante delicate sticking it to us, we (i.e., conservatives and a benighted, distracted public) let them off the hook only to perpetrate even greater evils.

   We are many and they are few but they still control the levers of power, especially the media, and we continue to hand that power to them because we can no longer view or listen to events of the day in a critical, questioning manner. Someday maybe we will actually stay mad long enough to actually do something.
