The media and government elites try to paint the word populist as a bad, bad word. How dare the little people want to right and freedoms. How dare we stand up and expect a government to care, to do something for us instead of treating us like tax slaves. How dare us complain about being lied to, manipulated, abused, and criminalized for the power hungry. How dare we stand up to the virtue signaling and speech against the identity politics.
