thanks for that, asaris---and it is this confusion of democracy and uniformity that explains why from time to time i find myself going off about the basically anti-democratic-to-authoritarian character of right politics. and it's why i see something kinda alarming in the tea parties--a sort of default poujadisme. what makes it doubly alarming is that there's no sense anywhere that the folk who enter that political world see that. i don't doubt that as individuals, these folk are well-meaning---but the way the politics is expressed, what the Enemy of the moment is...it's alarming when you think about it.
