Here'a thought. Maybe we're not in a battle between titanic forces of good and evil, with the progressive elites on one side and wealthy dynasties on the other.
What if, instead, what's taking place is simply a reordering of allegiances. Maybe Democrat and Republican have both exhausted themselves. Out of ideas.
What if the people are shifting, looking for a new political equilibrium. One in which ordinary people have a stake, a new political equation. A rebirth of democracy?
I talked to someone in the Johnson campaign. I was concerned about some of the things he has been saying. We had after all, endorsed Johnson.

So maybe there are some shifts underway.
