radical populism

Radical populism is a political approach that claims to represent the true will of "the people" against what it perceives as a corrupt or out-of-touch elite. It often emphasizes strong, direct communication, anti-establishment sentiments, and can be dismissive of traditional institutions or expertise. While it seeks to empower ordinary citizens, it may also simplify complex issues or promote extreme solutions. Overall, radical populism challenges existing political norms by framing politics as a battle between the pure, innocent populace and corrupted elites.
