Took me a second listen at the end to get it. I now agree, yes it’s a sign of healthy political freedoms though I was concerned regarding if it may also be a leading indicator of troubles to come, the Emperors in Rome’s case. Instead maybe it is what we should be seeking out more of in what seems like almost parallel times. As despotism, or the attempt by leaders to live it, is on the rise again we should be wary of those who can’t take the same heat they dish out. Especially when so bluntly.
