#457 Musings Beyond the Bunker (Thursday September 15)

Good morning, THE AGE OF GRIEVANCE I read an article the other day that defines those supporting Trump’s indefensible claims as identifying with a “narrative of grievance.” Another article, this The New York Times, describes this phenomenon as “the politics of persecution.” I’ve thought about this a lot. It seems to me this is precisely Trump’s appeal and the appeal of those running for lesser office under the claim that the system is stacked against them or that the rules are unfair (like the valid counting of votes…). Mr. Trump claims he is an outsider, declares the game to be fixed, and asserts that he cannot get a fair hearing in this system. Trump appeals to others in our nation who feel aggrieved by a system that isn’t working for them.
