Well, Long is one example of a large set of one type of populism, characterized mostly by rhetorical opportunism. Unlike Trump, though, Long had what might be considered a mix between an actual basis for the separation of normies from elites ... mixed with opportunist fomenting of an extant delusion. So IMO, Long's mixed status is not a good case upon which to found a criticism of my idea that it's a psychogenic illness. But Bernie might be.
