The original meaning is opposing the people with the elite, but it has slid to include the demagogy (telling people what they want to hear rather than the truth) to please the targeted people.
The definition from the comment above includes left wing and right wing populist main demagogy subjects. Although there may be a difference between European and American political culture on this, I am not certain.
It is not specific to right wing, left leaning newspapers use it this way too, it has become normal politics vocabulary. I think that’s left leaning: https://jacobin.com/2024/03/left-populists-working-class-voters.
what’s the difference of left and left populiism?
Populism is basically about simple solutions for complicated problems, and blaming every problem on a certain group of people.
From the right, the most prominent example is immigrants, while from the left, it’s mostly rich people.

Centrists just blame wealthy immigrants!
Centrists blame everyone for not understanding all the complicated problems.
“You see, it’s a spectrum. Yes I’m a fascist, but I’m an equal opportunities fascist.”
I blame society.
That’s not what I read in the dictionary. Is that one of those things that the right twisted to mean something else, or…?
No it’s just something the above idiot made up.
Good to know.
