Replace the `populists’ with `fascists’ and reconsider. Populism is just a means to an end here. Imagine systematically-organized enemy lists, where sending that e-mail to your friend in Iran, or signing a petition gets you questioned or fired or put in jail. It has been happening in Turkey. Now look at the administration’s response<https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/31/us/politics/sean-spicer-state-dept-travel-ban.html> to the state department dissent. Blunt force trauma can quiet most people. The volatility we’re seeing now is just a way to disorient people so they don’t see how their own expectations are changing. Marcus
