With Trump and his admin. - On one hand you have Trump giving Tax breaks to the wealthiest and to controlling businesses/corps shouting I’m for America to make it great again, on the other hand we have the middle and lower economic bracket suffering greater economic hardships. Conservativism today seems to be about money grubbing and power grabbing and not very populist. Is populism under a Trump and McConnell rule really more dictatorship than anything else?
E Warren wants to go after big banking rule to break the economic stranglehold it has on Main Street yet our populist government by Trump (Republicans) fight that in every way possible disinformation and misinformation leading the charge.
So really, is Trump a populist or just another money grubber calling himself a, for the people man?
And what in reality is conservativism today other than what it appears to be, this exposed elitism donning populist rhetoric.
on unclear abstract definition? "All The King's Men" has 2 award-winning movies and 1 award-winning novel, enough for you gain some perspective on populism as opposed to arguing on abstract definition.
It always has the good guy vs. bad guy narrative.
The other side doesn't do the same thing.
It is the foreigner! Or the blacks, of course, but it is harder to make that case these days.
I have no idea what "cultural individuality" is supposed to mean, but you should be careful, since lots of people use the term "globalists" to mean "Jews." Not saying you do...but it is a word that has been co-opted by fringe anti-Semitic elements. Just be advised.

other hand hate large groups of people and want to concentrate power in the hands of a few elite ( the current mayor of NYC is on record saying the government should be able to tell everyone where to live and control every building). Democrat populism is an oxymoron.
