POPULISM YIPPPEEEPEPEE
- anti-elitist
- insists on representing the “real” people or “the silent majority”
- generally charismatic domination
- basically never used to describe oneself, label for others, but is always against establishment (also in terms of rhetoric and style)

I met a traveler from an ancient land
He said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert
Between them, on the sand,
A shattered visage lies
Its wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
