In both cases, the intent of the speaker is to elicit the visceral emotions of fear and disgust before relieving them with a cleansing anger that overwhelms everything else. Only the leader can make the fear and disgust go away. The leader will channel your hatred and frustration and make everything better. How, exactly? Well, that’s not important right now.
The demagogic candidate must paint a bleak picture of the status quo, citing every catastrophe and failure before presenting the even darker future ahead if he isn’t granted the power to act
That is a normal consequence of years and years of weak leadership.
People tend to get anxious, reject the weak political group and look for a strong leader.
It should surprise no one that Trump is out front in this election year.
ANd, here I thought their support for Pailin was the lowpoint of the idiocy over there. SMH,

I guess, I would have expected this more from the Left. But, maybe not. The Right has demonstrated it's love for authoritarian rule for well over a decade now. They loved Cheney, after all.
The premise of this thread is to stupid to even be propaganda

Don't confuse left/right with authoritarian/egalitarian.
Both left and right have authoritarians AND egalitarians......and in fairly even numbers, it seems.
Sure. In fact, it's the Left's Social Justice Warriors---their war on logic, from BLM to this whole women's bathroom thing, their war on free speech, their refusal to argue against radical Islam, for example---that pissed off enough people that suddenly Trump's anti-PC position looks refreshing.
Now, of course, the Trumpeteers haven't the mental capacity to distinguish between Wahhabi-like radical Islam and the more moderate Sunnis, not to mention they probably do not know a damned thing about Shiites. So, all we get from Trump is rhetoric directing hate on all Muslims. And that, of course, works to his benefit, since nuance is the enemy of a demagogue.
I suspect that Trump may get so popular that somebody will have to shoot him.......it's starting to look like the Huey Long or George Wallace phenomenon all over again.

Don't you mean years and years of not being in the Whitehouse and an electorate that looks like they will never vote in a Republican again? That is all I see at least. A feeling of helplessness when dealing with social changes they want to roll back.
na...he'll shoot himself----in the foot.

No, I mean what I said.
The electorate looks like it will vote for Trump. I don't know which electorate you're looking at.
No it looks like Trump will lose in a landslide...and he will. Our entire democracy is at stake.

Wrong. An interesting dynamic is at work for this election. America is split many ways, there is massive hate, rage and frustration and some can't decide who they hate the most........and will just STAY HOME.
Yeats described it best.
"Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity."
November will see the most massive and angry white working and middle class vote in history.......while the rest muddle in confusion.
BlackLivesMatter, cop-killers, Muslim terrorists, illegal immigrants and the sins of the candidates have set this outcome in stone.......already.
Do you actually believe all this crap that you come across? Putin doesn't have a USSC to put his azz back in place.

You actually feel safe with a Putin sympathizer because the SC is going to protect you? Trump has sold out to the Russians and we come last.
