And this is from my own personal experience. YMMV.

Populists tend to talk a good game, but once you cut past the facade of what they say as opposed to what they actually believe, I've come to conclude they want others to give up what they have, but they either want their lives to remain nice and coushy just the way it is, or by others sacrificing they hope their place in life will improve.
