The tone of populist movements, whether in Europe, Asia, or the US, would suggest that the elites are too powerful, that they dominate the little people, whose voices are drowned out by the liberals, the multiculturalists, and the city slickers. This is a common form of populist paranoia, promoted in the US by radio talk-show hosts and Fox television, and in Europe by men like Wilders.
如今，不论在欧洲，亚洲还是美国，民粹运动者的论调是，精英阶层过于强大，他们主宰者普通民众一切，广大民众的声音被那些自由派人士，多文化主义者和城市精英所淹没。在美国电台的脱口秀和福克斯电视的鼓噪下，典型的民粹主义者展开了自身的宣传攻势，欧洲的代表人物就是怀尔德斯。
