The myth of “Right Populism” is being exposed on a daily basis now.

Newsweek:

“Half of all Republicans believe that President Joe Biden‘s $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package should be passed because of the proposed round of $1,400 stimulus checks, according to a new poll.

A 53 percent majority of Republicans support passing Biden’s entire stimulus plan, with 50 percent citing the direct payments as the most convincing reason to support the plan, according to a survey that Democratic polling organization Navigator Research released on Thursday. A February 3 poll from Quinnipiac University, which is nonpartisan, found that 64 percent of Republicans supported the $1,400 checks while 37 percent supported the larger stimulus package. …

Most respondents agreed that “low income people” should the top priority for receiving financial relief amid the pandemic, with higher-earning Republicans being the only group to disagree. Republicans earning between $50,000 and $100,000 per year cited “working class people” as the top priority instead, while Republicans who earned more than $100,000 per year said that the money should first go to “small businesses.” …”

“Right Populists” are just populist voters.

They’re more culturally conservative on immigration and other social issues than other populist voters. Mitch McConnell is sitting on top of Mount Vesuvius.
