    Populists tend to reject political pluralism.

    They claim they are the ONLY ONES representing the people™. The danger is they can start attacking the media, judges… claiming that the people™ are on their side.

    Uncontrolled populism can lead to dictatorship. Even left-wing populism. Look at Venezuela.
