How concerned are you that Leftwing populism will become the reaction to Rightwing populism?

EDIT: I agree that populism started on the Left (which is part of my disdain for it). I asked in this order because the current state of things is that MAGA Rightwing populism is in the driver seat.

I'm anti all populism. I see it as a catering to the least common denominator for political gain. The rise of the DSA has me concerned that as the pendulum swings from MAGA populism, the Left will believe that they need to answer populism with populism as a political strategy, rather than see it's flaws and turn away from it.

In my gut I feel that the populists on either side are made up of 10% true believers, and 90% more simple people that have doomscrolled themselves into extreme answers.

Do you think this trend towards populism on both sides is only going to get worse and swing the pendulum further in reaction to each other, or will we find our way out of populism?
