There is no such thing as "conservative populism." There are people on the right embracing populism, a.k.a. the Woke Right.

But "conservative" means you adhere to conservative principles. Populism only adheres to one principle. Us vs Them.

And it's necessarily collectivist, which basically means that it's inherently socialist.

The DNC has wanted to go socialist since Bernie in 2016.

And this is a perfect example. The only other candidate on either side of the aisle running on tariffs in 2016 was Bernie Sanders.

And they don't all vote D.

If you hitch your horse to populism you're going to get those types. It's inherent to the strategy.

Not publicly. But behind the scenes, Hussein was fapping about the possibility of a Radical Muslim running NYC.

Welcome to the beginning of New Yorkistan.
