"Populism is simply code for stupidity and willful ignorance." Spoken by a guantanamo a supporter of elitism. Elitists like guantanamo are delusional if they believe that they can win over people with insults by calling them "uninformed and misinformed ... who...  don't have the capacity to understand issues". If all elitists are as delusional as guantanamo they don't stand a chance against populists.
