Calling someone a nationalist, racist, or xenophobe seems hysterical. Like the kind of person chaining himself to a tree. And for most liberals, respectability matters above all. Go to a good school and wear a suit and it doesn't matter what you say, or believe.

This is why actual populists elected to Congress shock and dismay media so much. They are so used to fake millionaire populists tha they cannot process somebody actually making $40K a year and demanding social justice.

Doesn't populist just refer to you portraying yourself as caring for and working for the common folk? I was unaware that it implied that you are one of the common folk.
-
And the figure you have in mind for "caring for and working for the common folk" is Jacob Rees-Mogg?

Trump is a populist and rich. He’s elitist af. He is just good at playing victimhood like ur average white guy and co. As such, he inspires millions into action (ie voting) That makes him a populist.

By that token, Macron and Trudeau are also populists, while also being liberals, thereby invalidating the whole rotten premise of the Bannon-Frum Munk Debate.
