Ah, when populists were real populists. Hear Willie Stark in the year I was born, aka Huey Long!
(another Oscar-winning performance, like the above-- made in the year of my REbirth)

Broderick Crawford won an Academy Award as best actor of 1949 for his role as a ruthless, scheming Southern political boss in "All the King's Men" but was better-known to later generations as the beefy chief of television's "Highway Patrol."

Like the Hicks in the US, with Huey Long in the "share the wealth" program to the descamisados (shirtless) of Juan Domingo Peron in Argentina, populism has been a strong movement in America.

Huey Long wasn't a reactionary who was blaming immigrants; he was a leftist who blamed the bourgeoisie...

Kinda looks like a MAGA rally...You can see why they fell in love w the Orange One (can you remember when they called him a great business man). So that explains the falling IN love, but they should soon see that there are at least 2 others that have won his heart: He's openly in love w Kim jun un, but still "closeted" in his love for Putin...Amerikka needs to divorce this fellow and his whole cronyism gang and system....

Now we just need a modern day Huey to pull Congress and President Obama to the left like Long did with FDR.
"How many men ever been to a barbecue and would let one man take off the table what's intended for nine tenths of the people to eat? The only way you'll ever feed the balance of the people is to make that man come back here and bring back some of that grub he ain't got no business with."

A great socialist like Huey Long. Even today, SOCIAL JUSTICE would demand that We the working People go after the 2% of this country who have gross levels of wealth horded. It needs to be TAKEN from them! Taken by force! And then broken up to be distributed as bonus checks for all the working poor and disabled people here in the USA, regardless of race. The working men of all races must UNITE against the oligarchy of Trump. Trump does not represent the white working man. So stop supporting that piece of human scum. If you are white and aren't rich, Trump HATES YOU. Get it through your head you Trumptards. Trump has never worked a day in his life. He has only "shifted money around". Invested money here and there to make more money. Just shifting around millions on paper. Millions that he inherited from BIRTH. Don't ever believe these stupid "rags to riches" stories. It's a load of crap. The rich get richer and exploit us. The poor get poorer. That is..until we TAKE IT BACK FROM THEM!
