I think I see the move here to try to delegitimize the worst sort of pandering and the most cynical attempts at manipulating opinion, but I don't know if it will stick. This sort of thing does give a bad name to politics, I admit, which, after all, should be about people coming to terms about how to be governed, instead of attempts to bring "1984" to life, but I think people will probably always see it all as politics. It does make democracy harder, but I suppose this is our challenge.
