Populism is less a coherent set of beliefs than an anti-ideology, defining itself entirely by its opposition to political elites; once it takes part in this system of elites through electoral success, its failure to articulate a set of ideals results in its demise. Sensing the populist anger that resulted in Scott Brown’s victory, Obama tried to tap into it, but his efforts necessarily failed; as an elected official, he was a participant in the Washington culture that the Tea Partiers despised, and the rest of Americans took his dramatic proclamations with the grain...
