Distrust fuels populist movement

[sabrina 1]

3. Things are changing. Across the political spectrum. This article is catching a wave, the same

way political forums caught one in 2000. But that when partisanship was 'in'. You were either FOR Bush or against him.

Bush's excesses, wars and war crimes, the 2000 election, torture, lies etc made it easy to be on the 'right team' with the only goal being to get them out of office.

Since then with the realization of that goal, people have had a chance to see how the system actually works, on all sides.

But a movement is out there. Populism is alive and humming across America...

...Based on the distrust that movement's followers have for Washington and its media, it is incredibly unclear how this will all play out. And anyone who tells you differently is lying.

Yes, things are stirring and those in power are getting nervous.

Good article, the worst fear of those in power is that the people will unite against them. Keeping them divided ensures they hold on to their ill-gotten powers.

To use another OWS slogan, they had some great ones:

'The people, united, will never be defeated'

Which is why they tried to force OWS into becoming political. So that they could, as this author proves, place them on one team or another and then dismiss them.
