To be fair, I think one of the reasons Trump got destroyed by the popular vote and didn't win more states was because he ran a crap campaign and kept saying stupid crap. When he became disciplined at the end of the campaign he made a comeback.

Bush and Romney got way more votes in Wisconsin than Trump but lost because they faced decent candidates.

Populism isn't right wing, but it's certainly not failing. The U.S. is ahead of other countries for a reason. Le Pen did amazing for a first run (her father had 12% of the vote), Wilders picked up seats and increased the party's influence. They'll probably catch up eventually, in the meantime, they'll suffer.

I just looked up the definition of populism. The first result was "support for the concerns of ordinary people." We celebrate the "death" of this? LOL

Since you will most certainly dismiss any source I may provide as "fake" because you don't agree with their conclusions, you can find your own sources, or not.
