I honestly think (and fear) that this election is no longer about politics. I mean obviously it is, because it’s an election, and because the personal is political; but it feels like something existential is being played out here.
I agree with you that large structural elements are being pushed and shoved around. When these earthworks are done the landscape it’s going to look different. Not just the political landscape but the social landscape too.
This is the culture war for all the marbles. Whoever wins this will control the culture for the next few years. If it's the rightwing, it's going to mean some pretty awful things for LGBTQ folks, non-religious minorities, and black and brown peoples. I'd like to say they want to take things back to an imaginary 1950s, but they really want to take it back to pre-14th and 19th Amendment days.
