The 2017 presidential campaign amid the populist storm

It will be postulated that populism is not a cause, but an effect, which is not an antecedent, but a consequence, it is not an origin, but a result, in short, which is a symptom of something else: the state of society. Therefore, it will be proposed to address this question by trying to answer four questions: (i) populism is undemocratic; (ii) populism is right and left (iii) how populism produces an ideological disorientation effect; (iv) how, in this 2017 campaign, it is a symptom of an identity crisis.
