Uh, he's not wrong. You have to jump through some serious mental hoops to avoid classifying the current American right as Populist. They clearly have no qualms about using government to control social norms (e.g. abortion, marriage). There's not much anti-authoritarian about that. If you don't understand the other side, or worse mischaracterize them, how can you possibly hope to bridge the divide?
