if you look elsewhere in europe, you know, it's interesting. if you see presidentn in france, you know, pushed right down but now cominback because he's engaging with the french people, i think there are ways that we can defeat this, but if we don't defeat it and it grows, here's the risk that populism poses to democracy. in the end, it thrives on enmity. it searches for scapegoats, rather than solutions, in myre view, and ites a culture of division that if it carries on and you divide into two tribes of people who don't listen to each other, talk to each other, or like each other, your risk, at a certain point,ha ispeople say, "you shouldn't be in power." and, at a certain point, youen ay, "well, actually, we need to fix this system so that you can't get into power, because you're too dangerous to be allowed to be in power." if you go down that path, you see some elements of this reverberating around europe for yore. know, that could pose a threat to democracy, yes. >> the united kingdom and the united states represent two of the longest-exist
