I think at the end of the day: that’s populism

Under populism the feeling is very strong that they work for us — and they answer to us. And with these mainstream administrations — whether it’s Obama, Biden, George W. Bush, … — it’s like: well, the wise men are running the government, so we need to sit by quietly and let them do their important work.

That’s really crazy — and it’s dangerous!

Because: It’s just control — and you can’t allow that kind of control to be in the hands of any government body … where, because of the words out of your mouth, they can now put you in a cage.
