Michael Goodwin writes politics for the New York Post. Today he quotes a line spoken by a friend as they mused about the lawfare aimed at Trump, it's a line that has him thinking about where it might lead. The friend opined:
We’re not voting our way out of this.
Goodwin thinks there are a couple of ways to interpret that felt sense of political helplessness. One would be to not bother to vote. The other might suggest some other type of political action might result, maybe something violent.
I'm hearing rumblings of this sort too, as I noted last Sunday. Mostly comments to the effect that we aren't headed in a good direction, or wry comments about how things that can't go on forever, will stop. I haven't heard open advocacy of violence, but its inevitability has been hinted.
