Uhm... what?

In a populist setting, where the politician says to the people that gather around her/him "I am like you", they do this for the sole purpose of forcing the other interested members of a party to say "I am like you" as well.

And then what?

That is already enough of a reason for a distinguished study. If a populist leader wants to force their core leaders and fellow party members into going along completely with them, that's already reason enough for a deep cut in morality, ethics and integrity.

I have no idea what you're talking about. I don't think I've ever seen the situation you're describing and I don't know why that would "force" anyone else to do the same and I don't know what a "distinguished study" is and what you'd "study" here and why any of that is "reason for a deep cut in morality" and what that means.

Maybe try to explain again, differently, with examples?

I'd rather not.
