While a theoretical exploration of demagoguery may seem too esoteric to bother with, it is actually essential for an understanding on how the former president (DT) managed to whip up an insurrection that saw the Capitol itself under siege. It is easy to see the overt causes and effects, which is the purview of the Justice Department as they imprison the seditionists, but ignoring the undercurrents that allowed it to happen is a sure path to a worse disaster in the future. A close reading of this book will help lead the way to avert that.
