“There is a certain kind of political partisan who always believes that the people — the People! — are always with them. The People lack a coherent political outlook and so aren’t really on anybody’s side, of course, and I don’t see why you’d want them on your side. The people are, generally speaking, the worst. … Estimates vary, but the available data suggest that fewer than 5 percent of Americans attended a protest, rally, or other event during the 2020 apex of the BLM demonstrations, something on the order of 15 million people. That’s not nothing, but it’s not really all that much, either. Nearly five times as many people came out to vote for the second-place presidential candidate four years ago.” (05/06/24)
