'''Populism''' is a political term describing a political agenda which aims to favor the average person over the [[elite]]. The term can be either negative or positive based on the context. The [[Populist Party]] in the U.S. in the 1890s was a coalition of leftist farmers and workers. In the late 20th century [[Ronald Reagan]] and other conservatives adopted populist themes, attacking elites, such as federal judges and the national media, as too elitist and too distant from the people, and calling for more power to the people.
