The thing with right-wing populism as with Trumpists is that it is combined with nationalism. And the nationalist ideology is based on that members of a certain community, as Americans, should only cooperate between themselves and not with "others" as Mexicans, Muslims, migrants. Thereby, populism is about demand for a special loyalty to a certain population or nation, including by rejecting "the others" and thereby preventing people to cooperate a global citizens and free individuals

Populism = when you want a modern life based on your grandfather's job and culture

"First, thinking clearly about what the economy is and what immigration restrictions are, they are restrictions on natives."

The sophistry needed to write such a sentence is truly incredible. No wonder the right is ascending politically.

While you're at it nativist boy....describe how your "Right" is "ascendant politically" while Dear Leader is still having a tantrum over an election that he got crushed in two years ago.
