To be honest, I don’t many “right-wing populists” so I’m not that familiar with it, at least not on a personal level.

I live in Chicago, so most of my friends are liberals in their 20’s. But I work in a very wealthy suburb. Most of the people there are conservatives and most of them are wealthy, or at least upper-middle class.

You can be an wealthy and upper class and be an angry populist. See Rick Santelli.
