The mechanism you're describing also made the non-populist politicians complacent, they forgot (if they ever learned) how to articulate why their way is actually better. See for an example the completely anemic campaigns fought by Hillary Clinton and the remain side in the brexit referendum. Those should not have been hard battles to fight.

- jacquesm 8y agoOh those battles were won hands down. It's just that if the other side will switch to outright dishonesty that it gets a lot harder to get the voters to know what's going on.
