Populism

Populism is a political approach that seeks to represent the interests of ordinary people against a perceived elite or establishment. In the context of conservatism, populism can emphasize traditional values and a strong national identity, often criticizing political elites for being disconnected from the struggles of everyday citizens. Populist conservatives may advocate for policies that prioritize national sovereignty, immigration control, and economic protectionism while appealing to common sentiments and cultural concerns. This approach can resonate with people who feel marginalized or ignored by mainstream politics.
