Negative Space: Patriot’s Day

The permanent ruling class, the post-democratic class, is beginning to teach the people a very troubling lesson, which is that no matter how you vote, nothing’s going to change. And once you start telling people that, there really isn’t anything left between there and revolution. You’re basically telling them that their grievances can’t be accommodated within the respectable political systems and structures of the land. — Mark Steyn (SteynPost #26: Post-Democracy and the Populists)
