Archived How did "populism" become a bad thing? Isn't democracy supposed to be about giving the masses what they want? (AskVoat)

I realize it's just a word that really means right-wing, but why did the media choose this word specifically? Seems like they could say something like reactionary or right-wing instead which is doesn't lampshade their own elitism. Don't the establishment liberals ever go, "wait a second, we say we support democracy, but we're against populism... are we the baddies?"
