Populism, explained again

Also, BoJo is very English. As English as Trump is American.

We don't know how far Trump can go, because he's hit no boundaries -- so far, at least.  But if no one in the GOP is willing to stop him, I suspect that he would be stopped by a popular uprising of some sort.  Do we really want to push it that far?

And BoJo, as you called him, is, like Trump, very theatrical.  I don't think he's nearly as much a narcissist.  He has a built-in limit, though one still too far to the wacknut side for me.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
