Alexander Hamilton, writing in 1792 to George Washington:

bring on civil commotion. ... When a man unprincipled in private
life[,] desperate in his fortune, bold in his temper .. is seen to
mount the hobby horse of popularity ... It may justly be suspected
that his object is to throw things into confusion that he may 'ride
the storm and direct the whirlwind.'"
Wow, who is this guy and where can I find his blog? Or is he a
Youtube influencer? He's pretty smart.
