You're living in a weird black / white world based on the pythagorean (and then Aristotelian) myth of the either or fallacy, or false dichotomy. I would blame you for using a propaganda technique, because it is a propaganda technique, but it is also a way of being brainwashed, and perhaps the most effective way there is.
1) I didn't say Trump, I said his supporters.
2) I never said they were mutually exclusive. the authors of the study think there is authoritarianism traits in all of us. They only measured degree, and found Trump supporters less than a lot of other candidates.
3) they carefully defined why populism isn't the same word - I suggest you read their article, not the headlines. I quoted part of it.
3b) look up and understand
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_dilemma really well. Understand it till you understand how it can affect your soul, and then understand it more.
The real world is not composed of black or white, either or, linear or two dimensional thinking. And the problem isn't just the false dichotomy, false dilimenia, false binary, or false choice fallacy. It's the same error that caused the Hippasus disaster of the Pythagoreans (there is not just rational numbers, there are irrational and real numbers); The Aristotle problem - there is not just true or false, you can have multi logic and infinite logics; and it is not just a logical problem - It will affect your
soul, and no less than Plato's cave, where you are a slave being fed information from the philosopher king.
And yes, the greeks did it on purpose. get over it.
