I’ve always been on the Right politically.
I do not like the history of the term Populist. It was originally connected with “The Left”.
Tea Party was good, MAGA is good, but at some point we need a description that is unsoiled. And that the left has not twisted out of shape.
No matter what is used, the left and the MSM will work to give it a bad connotation. The rule is simple...whatever they disagree with is amoral and controversial - no matter the nomenclature.
They've been very successful at it. Theirs is an evil genius.
Note how they've succeeded masterfully in changing "illegal immigrants" into "undocumented migrants." Et al.
