Expect the pattern to repeat
In the desperate search for relevance post Trump the populism enablers will trawl Pres Biden’s comments for gotcha soundbites. Ignoring context & know-how
It’s a doubt-merchant top strategy. Compromising sounding sound bite that is then amplified https://twitter.com/ori0n7/status/1352929325926985728

And perhaps this is the greatest threat to democracy & policy driven by science the world over.
Not Trump. Not populism.
But the weaponisation of sound bites? How we process information in coming to decisions. Populism feeds off the immediate, not the considered.
