How to Culture Jam a Populist

quote [ The recipe is universal. Find a wound common to many, someone to blame for it and a good story to tell. Mix it all together. Tell the wounded you know how they feel. That you found the bad guys. Label them: the minorities, the politicians, the businessmen. Cartoon them. As vermin, evil masterminds, flavourless hipsters, you name it. Then paint yourself as the saviour. Capture their imagination. Forget about policies and plans, just enrapture them with a good story. One that starts in anger and ends in vengeance. A vengeance they can participate in. ]

A call to start taking things more seriously.

No, I am not worried about humanizing them. I am talking about humanizing US. We aren't the people cheering on a man who's creating a propaganda department.
