Lol, you call everyone here a demagogue on an almost daily basis. I guess it's supposed to be funny, which it is. But just not in the way you think it is.

a person, especially a political leader, who wins support by exciting the emotions of ordinary people rather than by having good or morally right ideas

How about 'Trump is a human rights abuser for enacting the separation policy.' Is that demagoguery?

It's such an apt word! I wish it had synonyms, but it doesn't. You engage in demagoguery on an almost daily basis. What else would I call it?

Yeah

lol, so any criticism of Trump, valid or not, is demagoguery in your mind. No wonder you use the word so much.

no, sensational baseless claims like "human rights abuser" that have no basis in fact or legal definitions, and that are only mean to illicit negative emotional responses, qualify as demagoguery.

That's EXACTLY the kind of bullshit the word was made for.

Separating children from families without just cause is a form of child abuse according to the demagogues at the UN .

Just because your guy is chiefly responsible doesn't mean the criticism being leveled is demagoguery.

You guys are actually closer to being demagogues because you keep bringing up gangs, child traffickers, and baby rapists lol.

Criminal prosecution for law-breaking is the textbook definition of "just cause"

Just because your guy is chiefly responsible doesn't mean the criticism being leveled is demagoguery.

He was also the guy chiefly responsible for solving the problem. Maybe you should be madder at the democrats in congress for using these separated families as political pawns and prolonging the problem longer than it needed to be.

No, facts are not demagoguery
