So, we have all noticed that more and more people are talking about Populism, on both the left and right of the political aisle. The reasons and motivations behind it are growing. More importantly, they are growing on both sides. 

I just watched this video featuring Cenk Uygur and Charlie Kirk at a Turning Point USA event. What caught my attention was there was a few times that the crowd (right wing) applauded Cenk (left wing).

These factions are starting to realize that while they disagree overall, there are still many things that they do agree on. 

In my opinion, populism is on the cusp of crowding out The Establishment. I don't think it will happen right away. And there are a lot of factors that would have to play out strategically. I can imagine that if Trump is somehow able to accomplish only a small part of what he was elected to do - that's going to be fertilizer that will establish a very healthy root system in our federal government political ecosystem.

What's everyone's thoughts about this movement and how it's uniting right, left and politically homeless factions?
