American Populism

American Populism is a political movement advocating for the rights and interests of ordinary citizens against perceived elites or powerful institutions. It has historically emerged during times of economic or social hardship, championing causes like agrarian interests, workers' rights, and government reforms. Populists tend to emphasize that politics should serve the common person, often challenging establishment figures, corporations, or government policies seen as corrupt or unjust. While its focus and strategies vary over time, populism generally seeks to empower the "common folk" and address inequalities they face.
