Must read on populism’s playbook from someone who lived through it.
"Orbán’s power grab program runs on two components that you can think of as hardware and software. The populist hardware consists of hijacked institutions. The software is made up of populist discourses and narratives that are used to create and enlist the consent of the ruled."

"Better happens incrementally. The first steps aren’t dramatic, and in fact, might even be less effective than what came before. But small steps repeated again and again transform our culture when no one is looking."
"The most interesting part of statistics for me has often been trying to make sense of what is happening at the edges of the technical solutions, where some yet unformalized judgment has to come in and make it work."
