I think we're seeing some people on both sides of the political divide realizing they're being oppressed by the same economic forces. Molly Ivins said it best: “It’s not a left-against-right issue, it’s a top-versus-bottom issue. It always has been. It’s about the haves and have-nots.” When a majority figures out they have a common enemy, and it's not one another, these economic forces will be in trouble.
