Populism can have both [[conservative]] and [[liberal]] elements.  Voters who supported both [[Bernie Sanders]] and [[Donald Trump]] are populists.  The [[Populist Party]] in the U.S. in the 1890s was a left-leaning coalition of leftist farmers and workers, who opposed the [[gold]]-only monetary standard. In the late 20th century [[Ronald Reagan]] and other [[conservative]]s adopted populist themes, attacking elites, such as federal judges and the [[lamestream media|national media]], as too distant from the people, and calling for more power to the people.
