"A growing recognition of the totalitarian goals of the administrative state has fed what many have called a populist uprising here and in Europe. “Populist” is one word for the phenomenon. An affirmation of sovereignty, underwritten by a passion for freedom, is another, possibly more accurate, phrase."

-Roger Kimball

beautifully said ... "Populist" is clearly meant to degrade the movement and align oneself with the elitist intellectual class.

Kimball is the GOAT of classical liberal political thought.

Went to Hillsdale. Been reading Mises Institute, FEE, & Liberty Fund stuff for decades. Surprised I have not come across his name before now.
