"The situation becomes worse when the representatives of a particular political interest- perhaps because of the very unrealistic and unrealizable nature of their demands- cannot make themselves felt in the political process. Feeling that they have no access to political bargaining or the making of decisions, they find their original conception of the world of power as omnipotent, sinister, and malicious fully confirmed."
-Richard Hofstadter
