Obviously my leftist friends won’t like it (even I’m leery of it at timesβ€”too stoic), but I think it’s a weirdly underrepresented dynamic, even if you disagree that it’s where we were in 2022!

On further reflection I think Tolkien is actually perfect here. We have an diminishing elite (elves/establishment dems) who are too self-important to pass power to the rising free people (humans/newer dems) and many people instead turn to mendacious promises of people ultimately bent on destruction
