"DON'T IT ALWAYS SEEM TO GO, THAT YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU GOT 'TIL IT'S GONE."
FROM THE SONG "BIG YELLOW TAXI."
Here is a general definition of POPULIST, from Oxford Language Dictionary.
Populist- a person, especially a politician, who strives to appeal to ordinary people who feel that their concerns are disregarded by established elite groups.
From the start, the News Media and the Republican Party, with an odd refusal to question such a Conclusion by the Democrats, have painted Trump as the Champion of Regular Americans. In truth, his rise to power can be described as follows;
Donald Trump was able to build a Foundation of Support, Tenuous as it may be, because he convinced RACISTS, BIGOTS, MISOGYNISTS etc., to come together and HATE AS ONE GROUP. Even though he has never come close to a working majority, a SHAM ELECTION AND THE TACIT APPROVAL OF THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN PARTY has allowed this "COALITION OF HATE" TO BLOSSOM INTO A FLOWER OF EVIL.*
Trump was a ''Populist" Candidate only in the case of bringing together HATE GROUPS, WHO SAW THEIR POLITICAL POWER ERODING AS PROGRESSIVE POLICIES TOOK HOLD IN MUCH OF THE U.S. BASICALLY, THAT REMAINS THE MAIN SOURCE OF HIS SUPPORT. Unfortunately, those elements that could have exposed TRUMP for what he was, and what the GOP was using him for, failed miserably.
- DEMOCRATIC PARTY LEADERSHIP. (U.S. SENATE ESPECIALLY)
- FEDERAL AND STATE LAW ENFORCEMENT.
- MEDIA- T.V., RADIO, PRINT.
What has been happening over the past few years, EXPOSING TRUMP AND HIS SUPPORTERS FOR WHAT THEY ARE, SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE THE DAY HE ANNOUNCED HIS CANDIDACY. However, when SENATE DEMOCRATS REFUSED TO FIGHT FOR THAN PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMAS CHOICE FOR THE SCOTUS, and the News Media ignored the Implications, the GOP and TRUMP saw their opening, and with their allies in the Russian Government, THE ATTEMPT TO OVERTHROW OUR CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC BEGAN.
