That's not an entirely accurate characterization of American populism. The politics of the Far Right arent inherently populist at all. Modern faux-populists like the Proud Boys and other supremacist groups is underwritten by the forces true populists would oppose: corporations and oligarchs. Calling the PBs populist is a lot like calling socialists communists even though socialism and communism have little true overlap.
