I love the fact that his party affiliation is not mentioned anywhere. I do not know it and do not care. Lack of trust in the institutions that shape our societies is creates dangerous self fulfilling prophecies. When young people hear “They are all a bunch of crooks” too often the best and most moderate may stay home, leaving the field to extremists.
