This is the coldest and most confused take on populism I’ve seen on this platform (as an anti-populist).

Populism is cold and confused and often lacks for internal logic. How else would you describe it, Mr/Ms Supposedly Anti-Populist?

I think your political classifications are whack; your descriptions of what you call "populists" don't ring true at all.
