I took a breath and read the rest of it . I wasn ' t familiar with the author but yeah , he knows his shit . Also I was ignoring the British source , which does give them a little more leeway because most of The Gaurdian ' s readers don ' t vote in the US anyway . Still , even though I agree with almost everything he wrote it just isn ' t wise to make the first three bullets about Trump and his cabinet . It comes across as totally unreasonable , even if it isn ' t . There ' s a way to press issues and information without pounding people over the head with it . Unless the media figures out how to ride that fine line ASAP , people are going to keep running to the faux populist rightwing demagogues that Monbiot is warning against .
