Be careful what you wish for, VDH
Populism WILL come roaring back with power and fury.
Only it might not take a course we’d necessarily approve of.
I’m thinking President Fauxahontas and her platform of weekly televised floggings of bankers, live from Yankee Stadium.
Reagan had a sort of conservative populist approach. Obviously, populism can just be a matter of using the mob (stirred up by free goodies) to enact one’s oppressive policies, but I think a conservative populism - that is, a campaign based on the issues that concern people who work for a living, such as taxes, crony capitalism and government corruption, Obama’s destruction of their health care, etc. could work.
