"Anti-Trump
activism seems to have little to do with the political arts required to
win elections — finding common ground, forging alliances, making
friends. Instead all of these demonstrations are about denouncing
enemies, and making yourself feel better about the November defeat by
gathering publicly with those who share your rage. This sort of thinking
leads to such self-defeating acts as interrupting traffic in places
like New York City (where Trump got 18 percent of the vote) or San
Francisco (9 percent).
If
you want to persuade working-class Trump voters in Wisconsin to join
your cause, annoying rich liberal Democrats trying to get to work a
thousand miles away is a strange way to go about it." [NY Post]
A second post will follow soon.
