Excellent summary of the fix we're in by Anand Giridharadas. He notes that given the dire situation of most working class people, and their revolt against the elites, they turned to an authoritarian populism. They believed in what they perceived as a strong leader who would help them out. They found out in the last 2 years that Dump is a fraud and part of the very swamp he claimed to be against. Hence a different populism, a progressive populism, which genuinely wants to help people, to change a corrupt system, and knows how to effectively communicate it, is what is needed. And it's what we getting with Sanders, Warren and AOC.
