“…with Fox News running all these “anti-tax tea parties” how trivial it would be to point out that Fox is largely owned and controlled by two foreign billionaires, one of whom almost hand created Culture War while the other is a Saudi prince and fourth-richest man in the world? The notion that such people could get away with using populist, anti-elite rhetoric and sentiments to herd tens of thousands of fools into the streets, in order to demand more tax cuts for the very same oligarchs who drove our economy into the tank… that would be positively weird. But the fact that Democrats seem unable to grasp this nettle and find the right polemical tools to turn the resentful populists on their masters… that part is simply beyond all understanding.”
