The proven way to success is to emulate it.
It will suck if the lesson the Democrats take from losing to Trump is that they should copy his "populist" playbook. (a) It's evil, and (b) they're too earnest to do it well anyway. You can't beat Trump in a race to the bottom.

I guess that depends on what you mean by “copy” and “populist”. From where I am standing the “centrist” impulse to chase the Overton window as it slides inexorably to the right these past decades has been a net loss for country and party.

This is happening a lot of places, including Denmark. There is virtually no difference between the old mainstream political parties of today and the nut-jobs of two decades ago. Sweden appears to have a slightly better grasp on this.

AOC is the other side of the same coin, and it’s working for her. Speaks in big black & white statements that emotionally resonate with large numbers of people. Doesn’t worry about nuanced facts. I fear this is just politics in the age of virality.

It’s like politicians are optimizing for tweetable messaging that has a high viral coefficient
