Democrats are flummoxed that President Donald Trump can keep winning when they find his views so despicable.
Recent elections from around the world, though, provide the answer: People want conservative populism.
Argentine President Javier Milei’s recent unexpected win in his country’s congressional midterms is just one example.
His Liberty Advances alliance swept to victory in most of Argentina’s 26 states, crushing the Peronist opposition by 9 percentage points.
Milei’s allies did this the Trumpian way, by winning the blue-collar former Peronist strongholds around Buenos Aires and in rural “flyover country”.
And they did it despite relatively poor economic news: While Milei’s radical reforms did bring inflation down dramatically and usher in an economic recovery, progress had stalled.
The Argentine peso has been in freefall, prompting a $40 billion bailout from Trump shortly before the vote.
Most experts thought voters would signal their impatience with Milei’s reforms by giving the Peronists a win. Instead, they rewarded his boldness.
In recent months conservative populists have won elections in Poland and Czechia, too.
Poland’s June presidential contest was instructive: Historian and political neophyte Karol Nawrocki started the campaign in a poor position, but he won against the odds by unfailingly striking Trumpian themes on nationalism and culture.
In Czechia, October’s parliamentary elections shifted national policy rightward, with a new alliance of conservative populist parties taking the majority in the Chamber of Deputies.
Britain’s Nigel Farage and his Reform Party now leads all national polls, having swept May’s local elections, with the once-dominant Tories languishing at 20% approval.

Winning!
White liberal 'elites' - the scrum of the earth.
Some Freeper ought to provide an accurate definition of Populism, because I believe most people would not be able to clearly define its meaning.
I surmise that this is why there will be another world war very soon.
I doubt it. Evil never rests. They will go into hiding for awhile and tweak their plans and re-emerge when conditions are more favorable.
The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.
The globalist elite and their agenda are the single biggest threat to the Western world.
In Europe, the elites keep trashing and jailing their native citizens for wanting to be heard. I keep saying that they are well on their way way to creating the next Robespierre or Austrian painter.
Time for USA to pull out of NATO.
