Notice the blissful (relative) quiet from the US, with Trump gone? He's a shining example of how modern populists function by throwing petrol on fake arguments every single day. Every single day, a new battle is started up around some fake issue, like phonics in schools, or guns, or working mums etc. The populists realise most voters couldn't care less about politics. But you can make them care if you create fake outrages for them, as a daily snack.
