"Populism appeals to the masses". Well, yes, in the beginning. Who doesn't love a politician who tells them that he's going to make all of their fevered dreams come true? "DOGE is going to eliminate fraud, waste, and abuse!" and the masses cheer. What happened? Squat. What happened to all of the promises? Immigration is better than it was but Trump wants 500,000 students from China and he's hemming and hawwing on other deportations while Muslims are taking over entire cities. Inflation? Not so great and certainly not what was promised. Honestly, the best thing Trump has done is bomb Iran and he can't even get that right. The midterms are going to be a well deserved bloodbath and then the soon to be broken promises will start all over again.
