Opinion: Trump’s ideology isn’t populism. It’s catastrophism.
A friend on a long car trip took the opportunity of listening to conservative talk radio along the way. He reported: “Right-wing talk radio is using language that can’t get much more apocalyptic. It’s all about coups, and Mueller as a Soviet-style prosecutor, and the left wanting to destroy America, and off-the-charts rage at the media.”
The president of the United States himself argues that he is the victim of a plot by the “deep state” — a conspiracy he locates in any part of government that refuses to affirm and demonstrate loyalty to his person. Another problem with apocalyptic language is that the comparisons don’t allow for limits.
