    This. Right wing populists have always appropriated left wing rhetoric and talking points and twisted them for their own ends, since they are trying to appeal to the working class and helping the working class is left's main objective. There's a reason why it was national socialists, not national liberals. The difference is of course that for the right it's just propaganda and PR, they don't plan on doing anything material.
