A populist looks to take power away from the elites and replace it with the mob(majority).
It is authoritarian and moves away from a representative government.
So have you read de Tocqueville also?

They might as well come out & just say it.
The people are dumb, the elites should rule.

It’s a meaningless term to describe elected officials, for the most part Certainly to describe voters.
It is "meaningless." But still Think-Tanks needed a term that dampened "non-approved" candidates.
Thus "Populists". They seem to describe rogue, savvy politicians who manage to gain support that circumvents MSM propaganda and the usual Party Machine.

But "Republican populism" is the exact term for describing what is happening in Louisiana.
So if you are unhappy with how the Republican politicians in LA are governing, you should support an effort to stop that from happening at a national level.

We love our jackpot justice legal system

Cult of personality gets you people like Huey Long.
They want the “Right Wing” Huey Long so, so badly, that they miss the fact that there is no such thing. No conservative should ever strive to be a personality like him.

What is the GOP and DEM argument against populism? What is supposed to be bad about it?
The GOP argument is this.
Populism is collectivism. It is redistributive. It seeks so vote itself the treasury. It believes the majority is always right. It favors mob rule.
It brought down the Romans.

BLM was textbook populism.
Do you need another argument? There are plenty.

Trump governed as a conservative for the most part (if you ignore fiscal responsibility)
That’s like saying I look like a porn star, if you ignore my looks
The one basic thing about conservative leadership is fiscal responsibility
