Facts about demagogues

In times of high-speed change,many people want to slow down.When faced with increasing unfamiliarity,many people prefer familiarity.When things get too complicated,they crave simplicity.
                                      Démagogues,usually male,understand the collective sentiment and seize on it.Démagogues make people feel safer when surrounded by sameness.
                                    Démagogues dislike plurality and cannot deal with multiplicity.They have an intolerance of ambiguity.
                                       With démagogues nuance withers away.Démagogues do not like dissent.
