Here's an example from me
If you want to de-normalize a nation's state/government, call them

a regime
Other examples include: hospital --> loony bin
Edit: the more I think about it, the more I realize dysphemism are insults?
Popularism seems to just mean offering something actually appealing to the electorate.
Populism typically means playing to the appetites of the electorate without any intent to actually benefit them. Empty promises are the heart of it.
Yeah but it's used for things like Bernie wanting universal health care or Corbyn renationalising the railways. Which would benefit people.
True enough. It's often used wrong as a way to smear good-faith attempts to actually govern as impractical or insincere.
What's the other?
I mean come on, demagoguery and populism shouldn't be subsects of each other... they practically are synonymous, but one has a more neutral connotation...
They're both negative. Scapegoating an outgroup is another form of demagoguery, so is decrying experienced political institutions as corrupt while claiming to be a reformer.

Pardon me if I find this confusing but this seems to be case of "There's actually zero difference between bad and good things." without context...
Have you fully thought through your words to type this out? 😔
decrying experienced political institutions as corrupt while claiming to be a reformer.
Someone can just see a theoretical event happening like that and just write and TITLE the news as:
Man leads a pro-democracy movement against corrupt one-party-rule and its institutions...
That being said, scapegoating an outgroup is indeed a demagoguery...
Do you take me for bad-faith arguer?
No, I just think we're having difficulty understanding each other. Or rather, I know I'm not understanding you and thus can't tell whether you're understanding me.
Well, ykw, agree to disagree... I'll kill the convo right here, I'm sorry...
"Socialism turns out to work pretty well and is beating our ass" --> “Now, no one — certainly not me — is discounting the power of markets,” Sullivan noted at the time. “But in the name of oversimplified market efficiency, a large non-market economy had been integrated into the international economic order in a way that posed considerable challenges.”

So-so no Frieren (I actually think it's goated, btw)
You'll see a lot of dysphemisms in the 2____4u communities as well.
