I totally disagree. Conservatism is a very distinct and specific ideology. It has a core set of values.

On the other hand, populism is not an ideology. It’s just mob rule. I think rule by what the masses is very dangerous. In its purest form, populism will lead to nothing but anarchy.

“I totally disagree. Conservatism is a very distinct and specific ideology. It has a core set of values.”

So the choice is between your vision, or that of Russell Kirk, the father of post WWII American conservatism.
