Previously I wrote about the vibe shift. One of the elements this cultural shift has given rise to is that of 'Populism'.

Populism essentially is the pitting of the people against the ruling elites.

This emerging populism is evident across western civilization.

I believe it is the result of the elite's overplaying their hand and failing to take full account of the frustration they have brought about in the population at large.

A sleeping giant has apparently been awakened.
