re: The Anti Populist Crowd

I think you have to distinguish between the population at large and DC.

Anti-populist in DC are people like Schumer, McConnell and just about everyone else, except for 10 or so people. They don't care what the People want. They look at the People with contempt. Most of the citizenry agrees on most topics. But DC has its own agenda. Populist should not be confined to just the MAGA/Trump group. It's much larger and if we united these different populist segments, we would upend the DC Insurgent Class.

Outside of DC there's just a small group that are onboard with the party message and these are anti-populist.
