You mean demogogery?
Populism is only one kind of demagoguery.
What’s the other?
I mean come on, demagoguery and populism shouldn’t be subsects of each other… they practically are synonymous, but one has a more neutral connotation…
They’re both negative. Scapegoating an outgroup is another form of demagoguery, so is decrying experienced political institutions as corrupt while claiming to be a reformer.
