The rise of populism-liberal gets a clue.

[DOTR]

If you don’t like populism perhaps you should consider its cause?

“Too often, the rise of insurgent political parties and demagogues is viewed as the source of liberalism’s problems, rather than as a symptom. But by focusing on trust, and the failure of liberal institutions to sustain it, we get a clearer sense of why this is happening now...The problem today is that, across a number of crucial areas of public life, the basic intuitions of populists have been repeatedly verified...”

The Guardian:Why we stopped trusting elites

Does that mean that when Barr, Huber, Durham and Horowitz prove that the deep state dems have the biggest scandal in US history that the dems will be punished during the 2020 elections?

No it's basically the story of how political opportunists have eroded faith in our institutions for their own nefarious purposes. Like the way you would rather believe the entire government is conspiring against the president than believe one man is a crooked lying sack of shit.

No. It means you have to overthrow them. Not punish them.

1. Not the entire government is the deep state, just the Obama appointees at the top tiers who conspired to win an election, then failing that had an "insurance policy" to Trump-up a bullshit investigation. If Barr, Huber, Durham and Horowitz come up empty, at least they investigated and found nothing, just like Mueller.

2. The "crooked lying sack of shit" was the last president, who totally fucked-up healthcare with high premiums and high deductibles, not to mention the clownish rollout of Obamacare when the web site was a total disaster. See the following link to catch up on Obama's list of scandals, some way more sever than others. Category:Obama administration controversies - Wikipedia

9 ‘Major Scandals’ Obama Forgot to Mention
1.) IRS Targeting Scandal
2.) VA Waiting List
3.) GSA Spending Spree
4.) Attack on the Benghazi Compound
5.) Clinton Emails
6.) Fast and Furious Gun Walking
7.) Solyndra Subsidies
8.) DOJ and the New Black Panther Party
9.) A Job for Sestak

The point is people eventually tire of condescending elites explaining why they can’t govern themselves.
They vote to ban abortion and get more abortion. They vote to ignore gay marriage and have gay marriage enshrined in law. They vote to secure their border and they get elites paying caravans to crash it.
There are eventual consequences to this. Even the most patient and law abiding cultures can be pushed too far.

Totally agree. The US is really governed by the billionaires because they buy influence. Any opposition is by another billionaire with a different angle on making money. Not sure why it can't continue indefinitely? Its worked well for hundreds of years, except beware of the unnecessary wars to make money, those need to stop.

Well thought out! .

The senate controls the VA..
Solyndra subsidies were authorized from the directive of the Energy Act of 2005.

8.) DOJ and the New Black Panther Party

Yes indeed most villainous to a white guy, good thing there were only eight members at the time.

No such thing as shadowy high-level conspiracies spread out over hundreds of people. Sorry. I used to be as conspiracy minded as anyone but nothing ever really panned out.

There is no doubt the press, Hollywood, academia, Wall Street and a large block of civil servants have dedicated themselves to blocking our choice in Trump.
It used to be a conspiracy. Now they don’t even try to mask their efforts.

The rule of law is not a conspiracy. If Trump even knew what the rules are and had an interest in following them he would not be having so many problems.

You are a liar and you are a very shallow liar. Read the article like an adult.
