“I’m on record that this election campaign, scheduled to end on November 5, is just a prelude to a saga of litigation and negotiation — likely punctuated by violence — and that the next president won’t be known for a good long while. So that’s why I don’t spend much time following campaign horse-racing — how many times Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have been to Michigan, who made the latest Burchardesque vote-boomeranging utterance, and so on. Instead, I’ve been poring over Theodore Draper’s A Struggle for Power: The American Revolution. The 1996 volume looks back to the 17th and 18th centuries, and yet that distant history rhymes with events of today: A capital city seeking to exploit far-away provinces; meanwhile, the provincials realize that their loyalty to the central metropole is misplaced — and that they can do better on their own.” (11/04/24)
