Good morning, THE POPULIST ANSWER TO GRIEVANCE A lot of folks had opinions about my discussion about the high level of grievance in this country—grievance about the economy, a sense of lost values, decline in public safety, malaise over a system that seems to favor the elites and tax breaks over labor, etc. My thesis is that this sort of grievance gives rise to demigods who feed upon and further that grievance, offering what appears to be a response for the forgotten or ignored. These demigods historically and currently can be found on both extreme ends of the political spectrum.
