I think you are very wrong about that.

Populist politicians, confused old people and outraged nerds don’t care for massive, privately held databases. The rest do.

If the politicians are both populist and successful that suggests their platform is supported by a wide swath of the population.

It is quite possible that everyone in Germany is either a confused old person, an outraged nerd, or a populist politician trying to cash in on their senses. But I doubt that's exactly what you meant. ;-)
