Behind the panic on the left this year

Moe Lane:

It’s because of stuff like this that the Democrats keep screaming about how the entire Tea Party movement is a tool of the Koch Brothers, and why the Left gets genuinely upset when their argument fails to resonate among more, ah, reality-based folks. You see, the Left has always had everything it needed for a successful populist movement except for actual people. Their ‘popular movements’ (scare quote and sneer deliberate) have always relied on paid protesters and blanket coalitions, all diligently slaving away to puff up the cause du jour. To them, ‘arming people with talking points’ is semantically equivalent to ‘You will say this, and only this, and you will not break character for a minute.’ That it could mean, say, ‘Here are the specific things that this Member of Congress did to support the bill that you already hate with a white-hot passion’ never seems to occur to the average Democratic activist, in much the same way that a person with monochromatic vision may have difficulty intuiting why colors might have emotional overtones. No points of reference, in other words. 

So – given the essentially unnaturally inflated nature of all Left-protest – it is not really surprising that the folks on the Other Side at first assumed that the Right has the same problem. Their dawning realization that, no, all genuine populist impulses these days originate on the Right* – and the Left’s inability to draw correct conclusions from that realization – affects pretty much everything going on in this election cycle. It would appear, at least so far, that the best that Democrats can hope for will be a lot of flailing about and desultory appeals to class warfare: it won’t work, but it might keep the Left’s activists in the game.
