I’ll have to check it out. Russell Brand comes off at first as the typical brain dead liberal, but he is actually willing to go out and engage and have meaningful conversations with people who he disagrees with, without spewing venom and being petty.

I haven’t listened, but will later...more kindling for the discussion...
I just listened (rarely) to a few mins of Glen Beck, waiting for Rush to come in...his dissertation about Libra (Facebook cryptocurrency) was stellar. The Left is so brain dead, if they ban all conservatives from the internet, most of their commerce will die due the suppliers...they don’t even see that.

Banning us to create their utopia...haven’t we seen that before?

Has a populist notion ever taken any society rightward?
A moral revolution, perhaps even an enlightenment, yes... populist? No.

An excellent observation (imo)

I enjoyed this, although near the end I think they probably should have gotten a room.

If we could only convince leftists that they could have their utopia or at least legislate for it in their own states.

But they will have none of that. They always need to have a group of people that they can control and exploit. They impose taxes, regulations, welfare, gay rights, abortion at the federal level so that no one can escape their grasp.

The irony is ridiculous. They were supposed to be against exploitation of the little guy and that’s exactly who they are hurting through centralized and tyrannical big government.

The Founding of the country was not populism. That was Republicanism.

(Nothing to do with the GOP)

Populism has always been what pretty much all of us would identify as “left wing”. The only time it hasn’t is when journalists have put lipstick on a pig.

Nope. Sarah Palin and Donald Trump are both populists.

What turns people 'rightward' is when a people has to revolt against leftist sucktards trying to control them through intrusive, thieving govt.

Yeah, and I am describing our current deepstate and democrat party, who are one in the same.
