Often misread/dismissed as right-wing #populists, the #YellowVest/#GiletJaune protests began on #ThisDayInHistory in 2018. They have opposed #fascists in their events. GJ are opposed to #neoliberalism in #France, and the rising #CostOfLiving ever associated with #LateCapitalism.

The 3 #Christian Tribes currently in the #US:
1. The #Christofascists: Christian Nationalists and #MAGA #Evangelicals
2. The Humble Christians: #Catholics, #Episcopalians, #Unitarians
3. The #Populists: non-MAGA #Baptists, #Methodists, #Presbyterians, #Lutherans, #Mormons.
It follows that the militant klans and tribes will engage in religious gang violence among themselves they are each others' biggest threats to power.

"The #Trump administration is waging a #culturewar on #Europe by aggressively promoting the #MAGA movement’s political & ideological allies on the continent & publicly humiliating the EU on the world stage... the US president is actively seeking to interfere in European elections, transform the transatlantic relationship toward conservative values & rally Europe’s right-wing #populists around the theme of #freespeech."

A protesting crowd threw rocks at a corrupt populist president who was out campaigning.
The president was Javier Milei of Argentina.

The #war of aggression against #Ukraine, the trade dispute with #Trump, the deaths in #Gaza, and the #populists at home …

No matter the topic - our own military defense capabilities, negotiating on equal terms, standing up for human dignity, providing humanitarian aid, or simply implementing sanctions by majority decision: #Europe and the #EU are currently demonstrating their inability to act on a daily basis.

This cannot go on! #EuropeUnite #ReformEU 🇪🇺

#RustBelt #Voters Are Sick of Both #Parties

#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
