Moreover, political firebrands, populists, and radicals, from Italy’s Beppe Grillo to American Tea Party members, use social media and the blogosphere to appeal directly to potential supporters.

此外，政治煽动者、民粹主义者和激进分子——从意大利的格里洛（Beppe Grillo）到美国的茶党成员——利用社交媒体和博客圈直接面向潜在支持者。互联网让许多政治新星迅速地集结大量追随者，但来得快去得也快。然则如此兴衰更替可能动摇现行政治——比如当中间派政党转为右倾以吸引更为极端的政党的选民时。
