Here’s an example from me
If you want to de-normalize a nation’s state/government, call them

a regime
Other examples include: hospital --> loony bin

call social programs ‘entitlements’.
Popularism seems to just mean offering something actually appealing to the electorate.
Populism typically means playing to the appetites of the electorate without any intent to actually benefit them. Empty promises are the heart of it.
Yeah but it’s used for things like Bernie wanting universal health care or Corbyn renationalising the railways. Which would benefit people.
True enough. It’s often used wrong as a way to smear good-faith attempts to actually govern as impractical or insincere.
