Why is populism, broadly defined, on the brink of historic victories around the world, while populism in the form of President Donald Trump’s Republican Party is poised to lose one or both houses of Congress in the United States?

Minnesota’s Democratic attorney general, Keith Ellison, recently told a partisan audience that he’s worried about his reelection prospects. He explicitly framed his race against a Republican challenger as a battle between good people and bigots.

A movement focused on food safety, chemical additives, microplastics, and the health risks of industrial agriculture sounds like something progressive — the latest big government attempt to protect people from themselves.
