May I add: if you are starting to realize that the old left right divide no longer seems to make sense maybe you should watch Fox and listen to a Trump rally and see what your erstwhile enemy has in common with you and your new sensibility.
Populist is a difficult word, it is a pejorative foisted on us as a disparagement by them that chatter, our betters, them that accrue to themselves the right to arbitrate truth.
Well aa dinae consider masel as yin o yer "betters" and aa understand the term "populist". Hitler ws a prime example o' a populist, promisin the people whit they wanted tae hear. Jobs food and an a better economy etc etc etc. Make Deutschland great again blah blah.

Soonds familiar tae me.
Trump as Hitler
Aa never daid that. As used his tactics as an example. If ye had ubderstood the chaos o Veimar Germany nd the effect o Hitlers populist messages.
Boris Johnson is anither example.
But i personally think being for the people means being anti racist which obviously hitler is not
Trump isnae "for" oanybody but himself.
