@01nmuskier really? Cause all the policy was standard Republican establishment straight to the only big legislation accomplished, tax cuts for the benefit of corporate America. Trump’s movement has no ideology, it’s just a personality cult to let out frustrations against cultural elites. It’s a culture war group, not any real ideological basis.

@01nmuskier they didn’t like some political outsider (as in not part of the political class but still capitalist class) riling up the base with nationalist rhetoric obviously. It was just rhetoric even then, Steve Bannon’s strategy. Andrew Jackson was also an outsider, but administrated as a populist. He was some rugged country boy that made a name for himself in the military. Yeah he was all the negative things of the time: racist, responsible for the death of many indigenous people etc.... But his economic populism wasn’t rhetoric. Jackson, though a PoS, came into government for the first time and did what he said he was going to. Unlike the millionaire from NYC. Like honestly thinking another NY elite was going to help out country folk and understand working class Americans is the set up to a joke. Trump is about as anti-elite and anti-establishment as Giuliani, or Cuomo, or Bloomberg. NY’s finest. It doesn’t cost anything to spew populist rhetoric, what matters is record and action.

@AleXand4life 💯 Jackson was an actual populist, presided over the most democratic era of the time, and implemented anti-establishment policy. Jacksonian democracy as we call it was the first time universal “white” male suffrage was allowed and no longer was property ownership a necessary caveat. Long way to go from there we had of course. Interestingly majoritarian rule was a key concept of the Jacksonian era of the Democratic Party. Indeed it was the most democratic political organization since the beginning of American political parties. In some ways Jackson was a demagogue that captured the image of American individualism and country living. Urban Northern elites thought him an uneducated country hick caveman and derided him as “King Andrew” to criticize his advocacy of executive supremacy in Federal government. So many criticisms can be made of Jackson’s presidency, but he was undoubtedly an economic populist. It baffles me that people think Trump is any kind of populist and are taken by his rhetoric. They know politicians lie but just because Trump wasn’t in politics before doesn’t mean he doesn’t lie just as much, if not more. Wealthy elites are in the same category with corrupt politicians.

@Joseph Torrence no corporations do that. It’s only a matter of time before corporations move to legalize marijuana to open up monopolized markets
