"Elon is right" | Bernie Sanders

"Has hell frozen over?" asks one commenter. Amazed at Bernie coming out to agree with Elon about the need to cull the DOD.

The left populist agrees with the right populist. Populism does a horseshoe. 

I've heard about "populism" for 50-odd years. And always wondered why it was a pejorative. Why so negative? After all, it's popular, innit?

Europe parties would have done well to listen to the populist calls. As in: control immigration. Over 75% of Europeans want restrictions on mass immigration. Which the elite parties don't agree with. For various reasons. And so label "populist". Before calling it "far Right". But the failure to address the populist problem led to even more far-right parties. And lately to the downfall of Macron in France. 

Bernie Sanders, the populist of the Left, agreeing with Elon Musk, who's kind of like a populist, of the Right if one must, although I'm pretty sure he's not really Right. Anyhoo, these two agreeing with each other is really something.
