Epstein and Disinformation
The 'current thing' is the Epstein cover-up. President Trump seemed swampy by saying recently that there was nothing more of interest. It was apparently all just about some "creep" and his creepy fetish. For the Populist champion, this was about as unpopulist as one could get. Regardless of whether Trump is a Populist or not (I believe he's a Neoliberal), being unpopulist at this stage of history is extremely unpopular. Trump and his relevant staff of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel have been pilloried by the public and they deserve it in my opinion. However, we live in a time of confusion and disinformation.

My hypothesis is based on the idea that there was some big generational shift which delimited the 90-somethings from everyone since.

Trick For Finding Pressure Points
On the battlefield of politics, there are some flags worth fighting over; taxation, for example. Most flags we toil so hard to gain, however, are fake. I mean that our rulers bastardize certain issues and use them to divide us. I’ve found an easy way to winnow the wheat from the chaff.
