76. That overlap of personality traits among insurgents left and right.

Well, virtually everyone needs reasons and excuses for their decisions, and so we all adopt a fine-sounding set that suits our preferences.

“Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you, the American people.”

“I am prepared to take on the political establishment, to take on the corporate establishment, and stand up for the working class of this country.”

Populist leaders Sanders and Trump, and obviously does't matter who said which. They're both using the same sales pitches on the same targets: FIRST the virtuous and righteous "people" must take down "the establishment." Classic populist fuel.

"Life is like a mirror, if you frown at it, it frowns back; if you smile, it returns the greeting." ~ Susie Sunshine, aka Adolf Hitler

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
