candidates like Trump. It was Dysreli who said if you get British working and middle class to vote on patriotism then Conservatives can win. Populism is just the new patriotism for the right wing. I do think people like Rittenhouse going free bakes libertarianism into the American cake as the country is made less safe by vigilanti-ism and guns and that sets the table for norm changes that accept libertarianism. So I think (this week) that libertarianism is the end goal and the people doing most of the voting don't know it or don't know what 'freedom' could mean for their lot in life as the new members of an underclass. That is what Biden is attacking with BBB.
