In reply to the discussion: RFK Jr. Lashes Out at Rolling Stone After Article Shows GOP Link to Presidential Run: 'Establishment [View all]Hortensis
(58,785 posts)With democracy and our liberal progressive government under the most dangerous attacks since their establishment, the Democratic Party IS THE PROTECTOR OF THE LIBERAL, PROGRESSIVE ESTABLISHMENT WE INHERITED.
There is no one else. Those who've taken over the GOP are trying to overthrow the establishment that secures our rights, freedoms and wellbeing.
Populist leaders invariably seek power by promising people antagonistic to "the establishment" a chance to strike out at it. That's defining. Ideology of those appealed to of secondary importance compared to anger and negativism, if at all.
Today, grievance populism is ascendant among the resentful on both right and left. Everything's gone wrong, and the establishment" is to blame for everything. Whether leaders claim to be reformers, revolutionaries, or good, Christian servants of god, they all call for destroying the government Democrats are protecting from them in order to to conjure mobs to fuel their power-seeking.
I can't wait for Democratic voters to kick this slimy bastard to the curb again.
