I had expected to encounter triumphant joy. After all, Breitbart抯 man has a unique chance to remake America. But instead, Breitbart抯 dominant tone is the sneer. Many of the tweets mock pundits and celebrities who say anything leftie. For instance, when actor Chris Evans rants about Trump, Breitbart tweets a gleeful loudly crying face emoji. Another big category of tweets gloats about immigrants accused of crimes. Above a story about a “six-time deportee” Mexican in Texas arrested for drunk-driving, Breitbart breaks into song: “ Wall, wall, wall your south, gently by the Rio ”. 我近来在试图理解为何人们会把票投给民粹主义者，为此，我尝试了若干办法，包括最近开始在Twitter上关注支持特朗普的Breitbart News。我原本预期会目睹一种胜利的喜悦。毕竟，Breitbart支持的那个人拥有了重塑美国的独一无二的机遇。然而事实并非如此，Breitbart的整体基调是各种冷嘲热讽。该网站发的许多推文都在嘲笑发表任何左翼言论的专家和名人。比如，当演员克里斯·埃文斯(Chris Evans)慷慨激昂地表达他对特朗普的不满时，Breitbart在Twitter上发了一个幸灾乐祸的“大哭”emoji表情符号。还有一大类推文对被控犯罪的移民幸灾乐祸。在转发有关德克萨斯一名“曾被六次驱逐出境”的墨西哥人因醉驾被捕的报道时，Breitbart唱起了歌：“墙，墙，在南方竖起墙，温柔地沿着格兰德河旁。” Much less energy is spent plugging Trump’s plans. In fact, Breitbart’s main current policy drive is to convince Republicans to keep Obamacare’s health coverage for poorer Americans. Breitbart的Twitter账号放在宣传特朗普各项计划上的精力就少得多了。事实上，Breitbart当前在政策问题上的主要目标是，说服共和党人不让美国穷人享受奥巴马医改(Obamacare)的医保覆盖。 At first I was baffled. If your guy runs the US, who cares about actors or small-time Mexican lawbreakers? But I have gradually realised that populism isn’t so much about finding solutions. It promises something different, and possibly more appealing: punishment. 起初我大惑不解。你们支持的那个人都已经执掌美国了，谁还关心那些演员或犯了法的墨西哥小人物？不过，我逐渐认识到民粹主义在乎的不是找到解决方案。它承诺的是某种不同的、也许更吸引人的东西：惩罚。 “Penal populism” has its roots in the early 1990s, explain criminologist John Pratt and legal scholar Michelle Miao.
