“Demagoguery is polarizing propaganda that motivates members of an ingroup to hate and scapegoat some outgroup(s), largely by promising certainty, stability, and what Erich Fromm famously called ‘an escape from freedom. ’”
- Patricia Roberts-MillerSlide13
Many rhetors
use demagogic techniques (wittingly or unwittingly).
This does not make them demagogues, necessarily, but if your main arguments and rhetoric are based on demagoguery well…Slide14Slide15
“Today we are engaged in a final, all-out battle between communistic atheism and Christianity.” – Joseph McCarthySlide16Slide17
“The South stands for blood, for the preservation of the blood of the white race. To preserve her blood, the white South must absolutely deny social equality to the Negro regardless of what his individual accomplishments might be. This is the premise - openly and frankly stated - upon which Southern policy is based. This position is so thoroughly justified in the minds of white Southerners that it is sometimes difficult for them to comprehend the reasoning of those who seriously dispute it.”
– Theodore BilboSlide18Slide19
“The art of leadership... consists in consolidating the attention of the people against a single adversary and taking care that nothing will split up that attention.”
- Adolf HitlerSlide20
