• La globalización es una realidad. Y esto hace que la mayoría de los líderes de hoy se den cuenta de que las ilusiones populistas no pueden sostenerse antes de que colapsen en el estancamiento y dejen a sus partidarios políticos profundamente desilusionados. No puedes inflar tus problemas o permitir que se acumulen montañas de deuda si, como país, tienes que ganarte la vida en un entorno competitivo global... Construir la prosperidad requiere cautela y paciencia. Requiere tiempo. El populismo es un atajo que no funciona.

• I suspect that many of the great cultural shifts that prepare the way for political change are largely aesthetic. A Buick radiator grille is as much a political statement as a Rolls Royce radiator grille, one enshrining a machine aesthetic driven by a populist optimism, the other enshrining a hierarchical and exclusive social order.

• It is important to show up. Showing up at marches and rallies and town halls and protests. I remember I was really quite sad from Election Night last year until Jan. 20. And then I remember waking up Jan. 21 and seeing these amazing Women's Marches across America, and I thought to myself, That's the country that I know. And that's a larger populist movement that I'm seeing than Donald Trump's relatively small populist movement. And that gave me a lot of hope and energy, and from that day forward, I've taken a view that we'll flip the House next year.

• Musicians always want to sacrifice our creativity to get involved in environmental issues or political activism of some sort - to reduce it to something more populist in terms of sing-alongs or guitar songs with a message.

• What I don't know is whether there is a way politically that you can beat away these, some of these populist movements because in the end I don't think they really do provide answers. They ride the anger. But they don't really have the answers. Or whether this is an experiment we're just going to have to go through first.

• I just think that the skepticism about truth has almost completely flipped - from being something associated with generally left-leaning progressives to being something which is a tool of right-wing populists and demagogues. I think a lot of those people writing books ten years ago would now think those books are no longer needed, they've kind of been vindicated.

• Part of the coalition is intellectuals who have an idea of racial nationalism, which is very popular in right-wing populist movements in Europe. The alt-right believes in racially separate nation-states.

• But if we keep denying that there are problems with some male immigrants, then we will just drive the people into the arms of the right-wing populists. Without the ignorance or the trivialization on the part of all the political parties, there would be no Pegida or Alternative for Germany.

• Oswald Mosley`s movement, it was a big movement. It was obviously anti-immigrant, anti-Semitic, it was populist. Mosley wanted to replace the parliamentary system of government in Britain with a government that was based on business interests, that was based on the idea that business interests were the real interests of that country and business interests.
  and reorganizing the government to serve business interests, that would be a way to get stuff done faster and more efficiently.

• I think musicals are a lowbrow, populist art form. And I don't mean lowbrow in a condescending way at all - they are designed to create delight, wonder, joy, surprise. And what becomes really interesting is when innovative or challenging or smart people take it and use the easy runway that the form allows to take people to another planet, or another place. Or subvert it in some way.

• I'm not beholden to the public, and neither are the public beholden to me or my songs. I'm very much of a populist on those terms, I believe that the song is no longer mine anyway. I like to process the dispossession that happens when you play something live. I don't have a clue as to how these songs are going to plan out, whether they're going to be on a record. I don't know yet.

• Ya que los populistas nunca pierden la oportunidad de crear mucho ruido sobre su postura antieuropea. Sin embargo, las repercusiones del referéndum británico podrían poner fin rápidamente a esa burda chusma, ya que pronto debería quedar claro que el Reino Unido estaba mejor dentro de la UE, en términos económicos, sociales y de política exterior.

• Steve Bannon, el estratega jefe de la Casa Blanca, parece imaginar una alianza entre Trump, Le Pen, Geert Wilders y Nigel Farage. Llámenla la internacional populista, una asociación fraternal de la derecha nacionalista, uniendo a gente que quiere fronteras, a través de las fronteras.

• I just think, realistically, there's a lot of room outside the Trump populist right and the Bernie-Sanders-Elizabeth-Warren populist left. There are a lot of us who believe in open trade, open borders, a dynamic forward-looking economy, not a nostalgic economy, but do want to provide a significant level of social service or sort of economic Milton Friedman foreign policy, Ronald Reagan domestic policy, Franklin Roosevelt. And there's a lot of room in the center.
