Populism is basically about simple solutions for complicated problems, and blaming every problem on a certain group of people.
From the right, the most prominent example is immigrants, while from the left, it's mostly rich people.
Centrists just blame wealthy immigrants!
Centrists blame everyone for not understanding all the complicated problems.
