It's not one man....it is the majority of people that think his way is the correct way, and the politicians that have to ride side-saddle to keep their position(s). We created it.....so it shouldn't hold much shock value.
Different socio-economic times....same dance, far as I can see.
He is simply a mouth for the majority of sentiment that was already in play.
He is less the threat....for the weight of his following. It's a perspective riddled with people that actually think that the government can give them something they can't afford themselves.
Somewhere, in the numbers...we lost our clearity and direction as independent people that cherished the basic freedom(s) that comes from hard times and difficult choices.
Just my worthless assessment of the dance.
Off to run my dogs....before I get in a pizz poor mood<grin>....
