You're right! I should definitely build out this comment. I was agreeing with Kurt's premise. Don't worry . . . I'm on his side! I'm drawing on a definition of populism in which The People support policies that benefit those in society who need support. The GOP's policies benefit the upper income brackets. While the Trump movement certainly marshals resentments against specific groups in society, it does not, in action, support policies that would benefit the most vulnerable. This thinking falls in line with scholars like Jared Yates Sexton and several notable figures who study authoritarianism.
