Sorry, but Cataluna's boilerplate populism is tired and lazy for a professional writer and for someone who knows better. Easiest thing to do is cast dispersions on public servants - at anytime throughout history saying the same thing would be met with the same sort of thoughtless head nodding while the reality is much more complicated and less nefarious. But yes, that is how Trump won - with a bunch of simpleminded nonsense that people who should have known better willingly ate up.
