Both sides are based on declining prospects for the average American worker.
Left wing populism is based on remedying this by providing single payer health care and low to no cost higher education.
Right wing populism is based on a profound misunderstanding of global economics and a tinge of good ole fashioned racism.
I truly feel bad for right wing populists because their best outcome appears to be jobs in coal mining and auto manufacturing. It would suck to be so riled up by politics only to be thrown under the bus again and again by billionaires who only use you for your vote. At least left wing populists will be able to get sick and not go bankrupt if they get what they want, even if they have to be PC about it.
