‘ … the populist threat isn’t going away.’

Because of that pesky democracy thing, I suppose. You know, people voting for a party they hope might represent their interests.

A really horrid threat, as all right-thinking people must surely agree.

Many people in the West are waking up to the fact that we are in an existential crisis largely brought on by progressive ideology and its hopelessly out-of-touch politicians. We are rapidly entering a period of realpolitik where there is popular pushback against the so-called Liberal World Order.
Left-wing progressivism has become passé and self-defeating. It has turned off so many people with its moralistic evangelism. However, like any big institution the left-wing Cathedral is not going to go down easily. There is a very real reason why the Democrats are trying to convert the US military and police into a force for wokeism. They need armed minions to defend their crumbling edifices. Thankfully, many in the police and military remain staunchly resilient against progressivism.
Initially, I was disappointed by Biden winning(?) the election, but now I see it as a good thing. The Democrats have done nothing besides damage their own brand since gaining power. Biden’s approval rating has dropped to 30%. Americans are witnessing first-hand what an ideologically-driven government looks like. The politicians and corporate CEOs who have supported this illiberal liberalism have exposed themselves for the foolish hypocrites they are.

Agreed. To say that Biden and the Democrats in America have overreached is a massive understatement. The wool is off the eyes now. My parents are in their late 70’s and are typical non-political, don’t bug me too much, Democrat voters. Even my mother is starting to make populist noises ocassionally.

When the Democrats have lost my mother; they’re in trouble.

Looks like the old Danish People’s Party collapsed into irrelevance, and a new more vigorous party is taking over the mantle and the electorate. It is significant that the Danish populists have not been marginalised after all, now they have achieved a lot of their original aims. But it is too much to call it shocking.
