>>unrest and the rise of populist demagogues who will be much better (worse) candidates than Trump. you do realize that it's the "democrats" who are promising free stuff to the masses by "taking moar moneys from the evuhl 1%". Doesn't get much more divisive and populist then that. So now on the "republican" side there is also some level of exploiting of the archetypal beliefs that can be considered "populism", such as the ubiquitous "wall on the border" but that carries very little targeted appeal to the unemployed or poor segment of the populace per se.
