A lot of the rest of the world has either been voting their Bernies away or is in the process to do so. Right wing populism is taking over many other countries as well, just look at Europe. Almost all countries here have either right wing governments or are drifting towards it at the moment.

It’s not right wing populism. It’s the political field slowly and steadily cleaned of anybody inconvenient, and mass media slowly eroded. People who come to power because of this love to play right wing populism because they liked it when they were voters. But most of their voter base are not right wing populists, they just have 2 (sometimes 3) bad choices of which the predictable one always wins.
