The Tug-Of-War Between Negative & Positive Populism
By Bill Moyer Campaign - Disdain for the status quo in the US is nearly universal - AND - given the complexity and chaos of our times, change is inevitable. But who will define what "change" looks like? This dissatisfaction and inevitability represent our greatest opportunity and greatest challenge of our time. We must dislodge this Deep State and channel the energy of inevitable change toward a just and sustainable society. But our opponents are consolidating their power through treaties such as the TPP, institutionalizing their rule with the Deep State Mike Lofgren describes, and feeding a violent faux-populist arm of racists thugs to draw energy away from a populism that could actually deliver a future worth living for.
