An excellent and perceptive reading of the roots of Trumpism in the schismatic politics of 1968 and thereafter. I was then a college freshman, now a retired professor, so the events you describe were the background to my entire adult life. Having witnessed it all, I can testify to the accuracy of your assessment. But now as this polarization has yielded a demonic avatar in Trump, and the America into which I was born and raised is on the verge of extinction and devolution into oligarchic tyranny, what do you suggest as an adaptive way of pushing back?
