Populism in the United States reaches back to the presidency of Andrew Jackson in the 1830s and to the People's Party in the 1890s. It has made a resurgence in 2010s–2020s politics in not only the United States but also democracies around the world. Populism is an approach to politics which views "the people" as being opposed to "the elite" and is often used as a synonym of anti-establishment; as an ideology, it transcends the typical divisions of left and right and has become more prevalent in the United States with the rise of disenfranchisement and apathy toward the establishment.
