Populist psychology

An emotional tendency to support policies or rhetoric that pit “the people” against the “elite,” which contributes to a sense of one’s own exclusivity and collective anger. These tendencies feed on emotions such as anger, fear, and social injustice, explain popular support for populist and charismatic movements, and contribute to political and electoral decisions based on emotion rather than rational analysis.
