Let Them Howl, Boris!

Patrick J. Buchanan, The American Conservative

What motivates the world's democratic protesters and what propels the rise and welcome reception of the autocrats, the men of action, is not all that dissimilar. It is impatience, a sense that the regime is out of touch, that it does not reflect or respond to what people want, that it is torpid and cannot act decisively, that it does not “get things done,” that it is tedious and boring. Part of Trump’s appeal to his base is that people sense he feels exactly as they do. And they readily understand why he would not want to sit down at a G-7 gathering and gas endlessly about climate change.
