Seems citizen activists and grassroots rejection of a broken, corrupt, insular, status-quo permanent political class is becoming a thorn in the side of presumptive career rulers, and that simply must be addressed. For the greater good of the people, who don’t know enough about their own interests to form citizen activist or grassroots groups that reject broken, corrupt, insular, status-quo permanent political class manipulation of the Potemkin system of “democracy”
