翻译后摘要：一旦在办公室，民粹主义政党总是建立一个不自由的秩序，表现出四个特点：依赖魅力的领导;不断的政治极化;殖民化的国家由忠诚，伴随着破坏的自由机构;和系统使用国家赞助的赞助。只要具备上述特征，掌权的民粹主义者往往会表现出强大的韧性。但是，如果其中一个或多个不再存在，民粹主义国家将遵循以下路径之一：1）民粹主义巩固自己并成为系统性的，诱导自由派政党转向民粹主义方向; 2）民粹主义变成彻底的独裁;或3）民粹主义在民意测验中被自由派力量击败，重新掌权。
Abstract:Once in office, populist parties invariably establish an illiberal order that displays four characteristics: reliance on charismatic leadership; incessant political polarization; the colonization of the state by loyalists, accompanied by the undermining of liberal institutions; and the systematic use of state-sponsored patronage. Populists in power tend to display strong resilience as long as the above characteristics are in place. But if one or more of them cease to exist, a populist-run nation will follow one of the following pathways: 1) Populism entrenches itself and becomes systemic, inducing liberal parties to shift in a populist direction; 2) populism turns into outright autocracy; or 3) populism is defeated at the polls by liberal forces, which return to power.
