pop·u·list
noun
1.
a member or adherent of a political party seeking to represent the interests of ordinary people.
Let’s see. Among others, I’d say George Washington was a populist. And Abe Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan.
FDR, Truman, Kennedy, LBJ, Carter, Obama, et al, all put state and party (socialist) above the ordinary people. Clinton was a corrupt buffoon and opportunist.
If Trump is a populist he’s doing a great job of it and may even make inroads in restoring our constitutional Republic after the socialist/globalist/statist democrats and GOPe RINOS tried to destroy it.
Drain the swamp, baby, and MAGA!!
Pinochet’s methods were condemned by the left as expected. Was it necessary? Unfortunately, yes it was.
