America’s political sphere is becoming a place where outcomes considered unthinkable in the past are becoming reality. This can almost entirely be attributed to the rise of populism. In recent decades, the ruling-class has presided over a disastrous foreign policy, deep economic recessions and the diminishment of human rights. Now, it appears the people have had enough.
Whether you love them or loath them, Trump, Bernie, Ocasio-Cortez, Patriot Prayer and Antifa are all the expression of the citizens’ demand for change. But these populist uprisings are not confined to the federal level.
A man by the name of Ryan Bundy has recently announced his campaign for Governor of Nevada. You may remember his family’s story. His dad, brother, friends and fellow cattle ranchers were involved in an event dubbed the Bundy Standoff in 2014.
The standoff with federal authorities started after the Bureau of Land Management stopped allowing Bundy’s cattle to graze on a 500,000-acre Bunkerville allotment. Once the restrictions were put in place, the Bundys refused to pay BLM grazing fees altogether. They attempted to pay their fees to Clark County but were told to pay the federal government instead.
As a penalty for the unpaid fees, the federal authorities attempted to seize the Bundys’ cattle. This is when hundreds of armed supporters sprang to the defense of the Bundys. The feds were forced to back down in the face of local resistance.

Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.
