Are you a populist?
Sep 8, 2016, 6:24 PM
Populism takes many different forms. The master of modern day populism is Bernie Sanders. We know that the Democrats cheated within the DNC to keep Sanders from winning. People in Washington D.C. panicked when Bernie started to do well, because they are not ready to give up their seats of power.
Washington D.C. is also starting to panic because people are beginning to smell the scam. And populism can be very dangerous. Because when you start to appeal to people’s individual desires, you’re inventing rights that in turn need to be enforced. We’re seeing that now, all across the country.
You are baking up this populist thing, D.C. You are propelling it and bringing it your way. And a demigod who is going to take advantage of it isn’t far behind.
