[FRIAM] How democracies die

I love me the acutely cold-stare that Cusack can affect in various roles.

    his early "Say Anything" comes to mind in the mildest form

    "Grosse Point Blank" and "War Inc" puts a darker (darkly comic) twist...

    and Christie in Utopia...  I forget the details of the character and
    narrative but that cold stare still haunts

FWIW I just saw the 67M vs 72M popular count estimate...  I don't know 
the real reason for so much popular populism this time 'round really but 
my first quip was "a lot of disaffected men and the women they can 
intimidate"...  probably wrong and in some obvious ways "wrong-headed".
