#Polling shows #Americans are ready to support #independent #populists running on #economic platforms. But what they don’t want is anything associated with the #DemocraticParty’s brand.

Interesting piece on the #populists’ playbook. TLDR difficult to get rid of them, with a depressing conclusion that America’s institutions might be so corroded by the end of #Trump’s term that he won’t have to leave.

There hasn't been a left government in The Netherlands for over 20 years. #Populists are framing #left as "left #elite", scaring people who are afraid of #change (adressing #climatechange, fairer distibution of wealth). #Rightextremists are winning because of lies and hatred.

#Populists still growing in #Poland. If only both of them were not populists... Ahh, when will #politics be a respected game again with people willing to serve their country and not their parties...

Research into how #disinformation affects democracy has never been more important. But #autocrats and #populists discredit any findings that challenge their worldview. In my latest article on ECPR's The Loop I describe how #Trump is changing the rules of communication, and manipulating public discourse

"They [populists] become glued to the very thing they usually denounce - an outside, foreign force. And they cannot easily unstick themselves. The old lines lose their impact. The mainstream parties see a weakened #populist opposition. And they go in for the kill."

Don't blame the #Nazi's for the #Holocaust, so young people today won't see the parallels with present day #populists and #fascist politicians coming into power. So they don't recognise present day etnic cleansing as similar, so they won't protest #genocides in the future, or hold those responisble accountable.

Habeck is a fool for joining former #twitter again. All still using twitter are enabling #EvilElon, his algorithms favoring his and other #rightwing tweets and Russian #botnets.
There is no political discussion on twitter, but disinformation and propaganda and every serious politician is just legitimizing the #populists.
From #Musk there is nothing else to be expected, he is a #bully.
