人的天性里有觀“陰”癖，男女均有。

落後人種或部落人還有“巫術”，“跳大神”。巫術的存在就是因為人們看不到那個布簾後的東西，“跳大神”是因為人有一腔“xx夢”。實現不了，最好的心理安慰就是“跳神”。

最近美國大選，不知道什麼原因，觸動了許多人的這個原始“基因”。

希拉里，一個為美國服務一生的一個女人，竟然被搞成了“賣國賊”和“罪犯”。

床鋪，一個bully， 一個混世魔王，竟成了他們的救世主。

床鋪這樣的人在歷史上早已有定義，就叫Demagogue。

估計大部分人連個影子都不知道什麼是Demagogue。

這裡是一段摘要：

A demagogue /ˈdɛməɡɒɡ/ (from Greek δημαγωγός, a popular leader, a leader of a mob, from δῆμος, people, populace, the commons + ἀγωγός leading, leader)^[1] or rabble-rouser is a leader in a democracy who gains popularity by exploiting prejudice and ignoranceamong the common people, whipping up the passions of the crowd and shutting down reasoned deliberation.^[1][2][3][4] Demagogues have usually advocated immediate, violent action to address a national crisis while accusing moderate and thoughtful opponents of weakness or disloyalty. Demagogues violate established rules of political conduct; most who were elected to high office changed their democracy into some form of dictatorship.

1. They fashion themselves as a man or woman of the common people, as opposed to the elites.

2. Their politics depends on a visceral connection with the people which greatly exceeds ordinary political popularity.

3. They manipulate this connection, and the raging popularity it affords, for their own benefit and ambition.

4. They threaten or outright break established rules of conduct, institutions, and even the law.
