      I think the problem is to refute your review would require you reading some books: Michael Kazin's The Populist Persuasion, John Judis' The Populist Explosion for a start. I'd also add that the main racists in American history have been anti-populist elitists.

      You're just demonstrating you don't understand how to engage in scholarly dialogue w/ all of this. You're cherry-picking literature that conforms to your beliefs. Also, it's false that the "main racists in American history" have been anti-populist elitists.

      The systems of slavery and Jim Crow were not set up by populists but rather by people who were squarely in the elite consensus of liberalism & conservatism (from Locke to Woodrow Wilson).

      Are you suggesting that there was significant Southern white popular resistance to Jim Crow laws? That Jim Crow passed DESPITE Southern white people largely being against it?

      There doesn't have to be significant popular resistance (although C. Vann Woodward & others have found some). If the racism was run by elite class & shared by all classes of white society, then it can't be called populist.

      No, I think liberals have absurdly and cynically stretched the definition of populism to include all sorts of disparate people (ranging from Sanders to Morales to Putin). I have a long article coming out about this.

          Yes, how is this hard to understand? Populism is a style of politics that’s parasitic on ideology. That’s how people with seemingly disparate ideologies can all be populist — by using the same style.

          Trump and Bernie are both populists, for example, because they both refer to a special pure people fighting an elite enemy. For Bernie, it’s capitalists, for Trump, it’s the Deep State. They both disdain expertise. That’s the essence of populism.

          No, I've always been pro-populist, at least since reading Kazin's Populist Persuasion in 1990s. And I'm horrified by how liberals like Mounk use anti-populism to justify the coup in Bolivia (leading, by the way, to an anti-indigenous & religiously authoritarian government).

          Or maybe populism, like just about every other -ism, has changed since the nineteenth century?

          In every democratic or quasi-democratic polity, successful politicians will claim to speak for the people (you don't win elections claiming to speak for the elite). So if it is just a "tactic" it is a meaningless term since that's what everyone does.

          I'm looking forward to your discussion of Huey Long in your long article on populism. That will demonstrate how well you understand populism.
