Good article. Thanks for sharing. The author quotes Matt Taibbi, who in turn quotes Anne Applebaum: “Anne Applebaum of the Atlantic suggested a reason resistance hasn’t been more forceful is a divide among protesting demographics, between those playing by old rules, and those ready for obliquely-defined “new” solutions.” Further, I suspect the counter-revolutionaries are searching for a new sacred cause. BLM and the voter coalition it galvanized were enough in 2020 - it won the streets and the polls, but events have made that winning narrative untenable (especially Israel-Palestine). Now, MAGA has won the polls and could feasibly win the streets if they needed to. If I was a counter-revolutionary, I'd be scouting for the force that will drive young men to act for those “new” solutions.
