Macron said it himself in the CNN Zakariah interview...
He said, he doesn't like to call the Hungarians and Polish /Trump) Populists... because it means with the people.. and he thinks he is with the people ..
I mean sooo many people are using Populism as an equal as Democracy ... When they use populism, it is really democracy .. maybe they are just so used to aristocracy .. that this looks like populism..
But populists are socialist... thsoe who promise 'everyman a king' ala Huey P ..
The intellectual discourse in modern times is so strikingly incoherent... it is soooo sad

It's all about high popalorum or low popahirum, and whether you are skinning the bark of the tree from the bottom up, or from the top down.

Populism can apply to both sides. Macron is wrong. It’s about an idea of an underdog defeating what most considering an undefeatable establishment. Macron is establishment.

Trump and shady business interests ARE the establishment. He bragged about paying off politicians. He made a fraudulent university. He's a fraud and youre a dope for believing it.

Yeah. That is a liberal talking point. It requires the liberal to close their eyes and ears and pretend they don't notice the entire establishment actually going against trump.
