But not all of the leading conservative populist parties in the world are the same — in rhetoric or on policy.The New York Times reports that while President Trump has positioned himself as a leader of the global wave of conservative populism, not all of the leading parties in this movement are the same in terms of rhetoric or policy. While these parties generally share a tough stance against immigrants, support for traditional values, and criticism of establishment politicians, they differ in their approaches to existing institutions and their use of incendiary language. For example, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) has been accused of using Nazi slogans, while the Brothers of Italy and the National Rally have attempted to moderate their image. The Freedom Party of Austria, founded by former Nazi soldiers, has also embraced a combative image. However, these parties differ from Mr. Trump in critical ways, such as his calls for mass deportations of undocumented immigrants.
