2207280600Th IS POPULISM A FOUR LETTER WORD?

Can someone help me out with this? Who were the Elitists, Experts, and or Intellectuals that the founding fathers of this United States consulted with before writing any of its founding documents?

It must be slipping my mind, just who these all powerful wizards were? Maybe they were standing behind a curtain where we couldn’t see them – is that how it was?

So just what is this unsavory thing called ‘populism?’ Why, I do believe it’s another word for democracy?

Let’s see if I’ve got this right?

If a ‘populist’ (man of the average people) candidate wins election it’s ‘fascism’; but

If a socialist elite wins election it’s democracy – is that right?

Strange how that works. It’s democracy in action because the candidate is approved by the socialist intelligentsia – is that it?

And by socialist intelligentsia you mean the knowledgeable people that live in what we unclean masses call the Washington Swamp – right?

PS1. I must admit that I couldn’t make out much of what this pretender had to say because I like most people read lips and facial expressions in understanding what’s coming out of their mouth. I wonder how many other people do as well?

PS2. Looks to me like the Donalds got socialists rattled if the number of presentations like this are anything to judge by?

Please do correct for me any errors that you discern – thanks in advance?
