Surely this phrase "populism", and the similar "alt right" are just fascism?

Can't we just call it fascism? That's what it is, yeah?

Perhaps.

I'm not sure that is the healthiest way to keep a conversation going. I tend to stop reading at the moment 'liberal elite' is written.

I asked @TX Bill bill about the 'identity politics' label he and so many others use with the left and was disappointed that he didn't respond.

I must be slipping. Sorry. Identity politics is all about pitting one group against another. Gay vs Straight, Black vs White, Rich vs Poor. It's been the Dem platform for years and they're going to double down on it rather than come up with a platform that appeals to most all American, regardless of race, gender, religion, wealth, etc...

Come up with something that appeals to the plumber in Madison, Wisconsin and the professor in Boston MA. The senior citizen in FL and the millennial in Seattle.

I'm not saying you can be all things to all people because you can't. But a platform of calling voters racists, bigots, or homophobic because they don't agree with you on the issues is a very poor strategy in my opinion.

I agree with you, but the issue with Trump and a large number of his supporters is that they do tend to spurn out the most vile racist, bigoted, homophobic rhetoric you could imagine.

Call a duck a duck. Call a racist a racist.

Each party has idiots, just like every club has its whoppers, yes, even Everton.

It's when you attempt to paint an entire swathe of the electorate with the "racist" brush that a party gets as thoroughly trounced as the Dems have.

Call me crazy but people who aren't racist or homophobic don't like being called racist and homophobic.
