That’s not what populism is. Populism is racist, nativist, protectionist fantasy politics. Stop trying to make it something it isn’t. Take some fucking responsiblity for spreading that evil.

Trump is a billionaire, my man. “Elite” isn’t defined the same by all populists, clearly.

I think you're running into an axiom of (some parts of) the modern left's historical analysis: That (almost) everything bad is something done BY elites TO 'the people.' It works in many cases obviously, but it can kinda become an article of faith that can't be challenged.

That's not true. You can have a society where racism persists among upper classes that also have racist populist movements (every Western society).

It can if populism amplifies it, and if the elite class only uses inherent racism to manipulate and enflame the populace as the GOO has been doing. Racism is a wedge because it already has broad appeal among non-elites
