“We [on the left] have to be used to being a minority -- a small minority -- for some time to come. The odd thing is that the right, even when it is in power, likes to think of itself as an embattled minority against this elite that somehow runs everything.

We disguise it by inventing what seem to be new stories, but they're basically the same story anyway.”
