Thom, America has been transmogrified into a society divided by the very people that were supposed to work to bring us together--politicians. The right has used every conceivable tool to wield their power over the message, and I have to ask, "When will Dems wake up?" Like the case of Snow White, I believe the answer is 'never' without help.
For years, the Democrats have not only refused to listen to their own voters, but also have refused to listen to what you show so clearly here: Americans are being led away to the slaughter and don't even know it.
"Ignorance is the power of the wealthy over the oblivious," cannot be revoked unless those who see the truth clearly--like you, Bob Reich, Heather Cox Richardson, and others--help the Democrats understand the psychological messaging of the GOP, and guide them in combating it with consistently clear truths about our world.
As brilliant as all the smart people are on the "D" side, I have yet to see a 'brain council' formed to fight the pollution coming from the right and poured directly into the subconscious minds of the weak.
The Dems don't get it, and without scholarly assistance from those of you who do, this nation will soon be nothing but a fleeting memory. The time for us to expect anything different from the Dems is over; WE must now insist they listen to those of you who have the wisdom to save us all.
I'm sure there are a number of wise thought leaders who would be willing to provide theoretical concepts to the leadership of the Democratic Party. I'm not sure many would be able, or willing, to commit any real time to bringing those theories to life, however. We have many who are wise; the question is--are they willing?

An excellent commentary on Thom's great article.
In addition to Robert Reich, I would had Adam Serwer and Sarah Kendzior
