    That’s the beauty of sado-populism

    • Enact policy that hurts your constituents

    • Blame out-group du jour for the problem

    • Run on “stopping” said out-group

    • Rinse and repeat, change out-group as necessary.

      Populism is always bad. Be it left or right, conservative or liberal, socialist or capitalist. It is always reactionary and never leads anywhere sane or sober.
