The demagogues are the ones who win popularity contests in a democracy. Those who perpetuate fear are the ones who flourish. They make fear the cornerstone of their campaign. Any fear, small, large, or manufactured, are all emphasized and glorified. The pursuit of any monster is a good campaign promise. The monsters they identify are endless. It’s happened through history up to today, and it will continue into the future.
