Populists get traction because too many voters are too lazy or stupid to understand the problem, how else to explain the popularity of the Ford Fantasy, the Donald & Kevin O'Leary, all three have their narcissistic personalities, their illusion of competence and their lack of intelligence & emotional maturity in common.

Voters need to make an effort and overcome the trend where intelligence & common sense are seen as elitist and boorishness & stupidity are fashionable.
