Populism Mike Livingston

Discover the Shocking Truth Behind Populism and The "Us. VS. Them" Rhetoric it Propogates Today's political landscape is troubling. The election of Donald Trump and the rise of other Populist leaders have caused massive tailspins around the globe. The feelings of uncertainty of what's to become is pervasive and dismal. And when you brush through the "dust" and noise of the media, political pundits, and daily gossip, there's one word that makes sense of everything: Populism. At its core, Populism simply means "a nation" or "the people." It is principle that's predicated on the notion that government is to be determined by the people, and to be representative OF the people. It is entirely at the core of a healthy democracy. But like so many good things, Populism has been the sole weapon that authoritarians, absolute leaders, would-be despots, and fascists have used to create massive turmoil and citizen angst among the people they seek to rule. Paradoxically, the very thing Populism seeks to defend (Democracy) is the same thing it's projected to destroy. With existing anti Wall-Street and Anti-Washington sentiment, populist leaders are poised to use peoples' worst fears and frustrations to appeal to them-while creating massive polarization and separation-and conflict-between majority and minority groups. Now, in this groundbreaking book, we examine the inner workings of populism, how populism has evolved over time, and how leaders around the world exploit populism for personal gain. We'll explore the dark reality behind the unusual-yet predictable-consent we've given to let populist leaders sweep in and lead our nations.
