text: While I am glad to see that someone is realizing that no election has only two sides to it, the article is still an oversimplification.  Loathsome as some of his rhetoric is, Trump is not the neo-fascist that Le Pen is; similarly, the Brexit vote was more about economics than it was about xenophobia.  
  
  And I believe the warning at the end is somewhat alarmist.  The so-called wave of populism has already crested in my opinion -- neither Wilders not Le Pen did as well as some feared -- and Trump has a lower approval rating than any president in modern history.
  
  It appears that even staunch anti-globalists are beginning to see that the far right pill may be too bitter to swallow, since the economic protectionism is almost invariably accompanied by xenophobic attitudes and fiscal policy intended to benefit the rich.
