What people want the Democrats to do, of course, is stage a countercoup. But they are not a revolutionary party. And this has happened before. That was the Compromise of 1877 and we know how it went. It led to a generation, slightly more, of racist reaction and aggrandizement of the rich, which all ended up in the the Great Depression of the 1930s.
I believe that US history can be understood as a series of swings between aristocratic and democratic politics. We are now in a period of aristocratic reaction.
