A swamp drained!

From what I understand, isn’t this how populism almost always turns out? Elites wielding the working class naïveté?

Correct. This is why if we want a more prosperous future, we need to remind ourselves and the world, liberalism is what made us great. Not populism.

Populism can be a useful tool when a movement also has actual substance. However, if it's just "let's go back to the good old days" and vague stuff like that, then you absolutely get it. MAGA literally is this idea.

“Right-wing populism” is the biggest oxymoron ever😂

At first he wanted to eliminate the swap and replace the ACA

Now he's going to replace the swamp and eliminate the ACA

You’d think it’d be difficult to sell yourself as “anti-establishment” if you have your name written on several skyscrapers, but I guess that’s balanced out by buddying up with a Kennedy, a smorgasbord of C-suiters and TV personalities, and the wealthiest man in the world

And also have the richest man on the planet buy a massive social media platform, who then uses it to spread rampant propaganda and silence dissenting voices

"Free speech absolutist" my fucking ass

MAGA "populism" being a complete and utter scam? Shocking...Elon having a direct role in the government should have been a dead giveaway...
