Populist historically is a label used to describe certain candidates and public figures with popular appeal outside the norms acceptable to the establishment political class and its supportive mainstream media.

Fundamentally, populism is democratic, even if at times it has a wrongheaded approach as can occur; whereas Progressivism is fundamentally anti-democratic, and the road to technocracy and authoritarianism.
