      That’s some fine hand waving - “hence not really populist.”https://twitter.com/heerjeet/status/953332248022958081 …

      Right -- r.w. authoritarianism typically posits middle class squeezed by evil elite (usually identified as Jewish) & underclass. But it also posits existence of good, patriotic elite (i.e. Trump). Hence not really populist.

      If the explicit goal is to continue to entrench an elite (i.e. good businessmen like Trump) then it's not populist.

          It’s never the explicit goal. That’s the point. Populism relies on enemies and scapegoats. You’re judging by what is trying to be achieved— Hofstader focused on the means. You’re speaking of something different than what Hofstader was speaking of imo.

          The first image that pops in my head when I think "populism" is a vivid description of the consequences of the Cultural Revolution in a local school. Adolescent mob cruelty unleasehed and given ideological cover. Truly horrifying. Populism is not a word worth saving.

          Only if you're committed to defining populism as support for programmatic policies that benefit the majority (it rarely is). 1/2

          Populism is more accurately defined as the chaos politics of symbolic rage resulting from both legitimate anger and mewling ressentiment. It seeks saviors and devils, favors immediate revenge over reform, and holds the Rule of Law in contempt. The politics of children. 2/2

          True. But that's not the explicit goal. It's the implicit goal. There is no natural constituency for the party of the .01% and crony capitalist corporations feeding at the public trough. So the only way they can possibly get votes is to lie & cater to people's vices. That's what

          they do, and it works well. It's why we have T & GOP Congress. But you can't admit that you are lying, or the lies won't work to get you votes.
