Well, that sounds quite similar to Steve's "mobacracy". Do you see that as
different?
FWIW, the definition I think is mostly right is any particular ideology that
separates society into 2 groups, ordinary people and *corrupted* elites. The
important part is that the particular ideologies grouped as populist may not
share *any* other similarity, only that they separate into normies vs. corrupt
elites. That collection of ideologies isn't an ideology in itself... it's more
like a set of behaviors, which is why Marcus' criticism seems to work so well.
So, it may not be ideological at all. And in Trump's case, it may not even be
strategic, just an ad hoc set of tactics or pre-existing behaviors that he
learned by chance and that happened to route him into his role as the Cheeto
Jesus.
