POPULISM

 Trump’s attempts to decide who is ‘American’ is downright un-American. The arc of American history bends toward inclusion — but only if we push back. (Maddow blog)

How much longer will this Felon, Sexual Harasser, Fraudster, Racist jerk be able to move America closer and closer to an Authoritarian nation, permitting him and only him to be prosecutor, judge, and jury? Under the guise of Populism, Trump is demonstrating that one man, and one man alone, can and will shape the future of this country. 

Populism Political ideology that sees society as divided into a good people and an evil elite. Populism is a political movement or philosophy that claims to represent the interests of ordinary people, often contrasting them with a perceived corrupt elite. (Wikipedia)

There are at least 13 billionaires in Donald Trump's cabinet, making it the wealthiest presidential administration in modern history. Their combined net worth could exceed $460 billion. (abc.com). Elon Musk, Mariam Adelson, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg are these billionaires part of the common people, yet Trump has convinced himself that he (himself a billionaire is just as common as each and every single member of MAGA, and it has worked. How the fuck and why the fuck?

Maybe the democrats should spend time helping the average American to better understand that Trump and his Brown Shirts are not even close to being like the average American and are indeed the hated and despised Elite.
