I'm vaguely optimistic that the pendulum is starting to swing. It's like the establishment was giving their precocious and unruly children a little too much leeway because they weren't sure how far it would go, but have now realized it's time for some adulting.
Personally I think it’s all those illegal immigrants who have come from countries where those who weren’t industrious just didn’t make it and have often paid a huge price to get to the promised land. Having finally arrived, they have little interest in letting the radicals screw up this country too. Unlike the spoiled children, they realize what an opportunity they have here.
