have you ever been a leading indicator? it's a bizarre experience you become used to no one agreeing with you, but then, when you're not looking, things shift and your opinion becomes mainstream i find what happens after that very amusing, cuz you dont know the shift happened yet!

check this amazing thing Alexander Hamilton said to George Washington in 1792 this line is so good: > It may justly be suspected that his object is to throw things into confusion that he may “ride the storm and direct the whirlwind." founders.archives.gov/documents/Ha...

The truth unquestionably is, that the only path to a subversion of the republican system of the Country is, by flattering the prejudices of the people, and exciting their jealousies and apprehensions, to throw affairs into confusion, and bring on civil commotion...

When a man unprincipled in private life desperate in his fortune, bold in his temper, possessed of considerable talents, having the advantage of military habits—despotic in his ordinary demeanour—known to have scoffed in private at the principles of liberty—when such a man is seen to mount the hobby horse of popularity—to join in the cry of danger to liberty—to take every opportunity of embarrassing the General Government & bringing it under suspicion—to flatter and fall in with all the non sense of the zealots of the day—It may justly be suspected that his object is to throw things into confusion that he may “ride the storm and direct the whirlwind."

Alexander Hamilton,
[Objections and Answers Respecting the Administration], [18 August 1792]
