TBH, populism is bad when that populism is just a cover for right-wing puppet governments who push austerity and anti-immigrant measures to please their billionaire backers.
True that
But I do see libs who honestly believe that because an idea has popular support, that means it's populist and therefore bad

literally vanguardism
