It&#x27;s not that right-wingers are innately more reactive than left-wing voters.  It&#x27;s that left-wing voters are only now getting genuinely angry about being told, for the past four decades, to just shut up and take whatever the Establishment gives us.<p>Consider the current two Presidential primaries.  Among the Republican Party, there&#x27;s a contest to see who&#x27;s the most conservative, and candidates are competing to come up with a platform that appeals to the party base.  Among the Democratic Party, Hillary Clinton is presumed to be the obvious, inevitable, <i>entitled</i> winner, and so there&#x27;s a deliberate attempt to <i>suppress</i> actual competition for the nomination, <i>most especially</i> competition from the insurgent left-populist Bernie Sanders.
