larryb16: True enough. The real problem arises when elitists or progressives wear a populist label to promote an agenda while in all likelihood once in power they'll strive to enhance the interests of the wealthy and privileged. Are Trump's massive corporate tax cuts alongside the repeal of Obamacare really going to help struggling working class Americans? But we've seen a paler shade of this on the "progressive" side of the political spectrum in Canada where Trudeau successfully ran on an openly anti-Harper progressive agenda only to demonstrate after the fact that he prefers the company of billionaires over the great unwashed. Some voters are only now starting to figure out that the Trudeau Libs aren't what they first appeared to be. It's clear that opportunistic and often hypocritical self-styled progressives must share some of the blame for the political discontent that's sweeping the West.
