All democracy, in absence of strong elites to filter info, tends towards Peronist horseshoe odd mixture of authoritarian illiberalism, populist leftist economics, libertinism, and reactionary social policies, with payoffs to the cronies and the rich who fund the whole thing.

I honestly feel almost zero respect now for my former Republican friends. I used to be the more moderate voice arguing against their hardcore libertarian views. Now they have completely changed colors, and I'm arguing for paying down debt, global trade, and austerity? What a world.
