Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders have packed stadiums as they make
their case for the 2016 Republican and Democratic presidential
nominations. Many pundits have labeled them 21st century
“populists,” but invoking the “voice of the people” is a tradition
as old as the country itself. In this episode, the Guys trace
populism’s influence on American politics—from mob justice in
Revolutionary Boston to the original presidential outsider, Andrew
Jackson. BackStory will explore how farmers built a mass movement
around monetary reform in the late 19th century and how the Trumps
of their day capitalized on a tradition of riling up the masses.
How have populist movements inspired, and sometimes alarmed, the
electorate? And how does populism affect our politics
today?
