What's your definition of populism? I've very rarely heard Obama use populist rhetoric.

That's because you are conditioned to not hear him as "populist" [populist=bad]. "You didn't build that" is a "populist" message of "hey, looting those people is ok because their property is illegitimate" Obama engaged in "populism" designed to stir up riots and it did.

The fact that you can't see this is the mind trick. In fact, right now we're looking at riots, looting and the breakdown of civil order spurred on by "populism" (it's not that though, is it?) and you see the danger as the backlash by people who are outside state protection

I have consistently condemned the rioting. I think we can condemn both.

The rioting is the last domino in a line. "I condemn the last domino falling, that was wrong" Tucker is criticizing the source of the riots. Your position is that you don't want riots but you don't want to actually stop them.

Ah, condemn the real with an imagined hypothetical. This reminds me of the lefty reaction to the armed protesters in the MI capitol - "if they were black, they'd all get shot and called terrorists" It's rare that you get to see the hypotheticals disproven in a few weeks.
