They're intentionally provoking outrage, this is not an accident that this is happening in every western country simultaneously. They want the revolutions in every country so the the WEF can put in a new government. "Arab Spring" but in the west.

Or is it neoliberal internationalists who determine who is and isn't populist? I ask because you source the Atlantic, which hosts neoconservative "journalists" that supported the Iraq war and the stealing of entitlements from real Americans for Israeli Balkanization agendas. It's probably why they continually publish for Frum, Goldberg, etc., to write hit pieces against Trump, when they are privately anti-anti-trumpers when it comes to Israel's security.

Huey Long was a populist... not Trump. Trump was and can never be a populist because he won the electoral college, was selected by a for-profit party corporation and was receiving millions from multi-national corporations.

I would agree with you that it's important to look at the neoliberal rhetoric of some of the international news media groups, particularly becaue a number of these neoliberal groups stir up news content that - while paying their bills - also serve to create reactions from right-wing groups that can take advantace of the chaotic discourse by offering their simpler authoritarian solutions. So neoliberals do indeed support the chaotic news cycle that ultimately feeds the authoritarians opporunities to protest for anti-democratic solutions. One of the first presidents who helped with this kind of process was Clinton, whose neoliberal approaches - dodgy deals across the aisle - were highly problematic for his constituency, which are still paying for those problems (private for-profit prisons, killing welfare options, pay to play lobbying, proxy wars & arms sales, etc, etc).
