Yeah, of course he's just a dude. He's one of the least worthy dudes out there, for all the attention he's getting. He didn't justifiably earn any of that.

But nonetheless, he is a key that happens to be shaped perfectly to unlock, exploit and exacerbate populist anger. It could have been anyone else if the conditions were different, but it is uniquely him in this history. That's all I'm saying, but it a very important detail.
