The rest of the sentence is what really floors me. After the highlighting. It's the wink and nod thing, a hint of the "adult understanding" a political leader by necessity must manipulate the masses to gain and maintain power — power that may (will?) be used for good.
That last bit has everything — Progressive gumbo. The ends justifying the means, the elitism, mankind as a herd of idiots that don't know what's good for them, sympathy for the devil.
It reminds me of all the winking and nodding over Obama's fake positions on issues and subsequent fake "evolution."
