人的天性里有观“阴”癖，男女均有。

落后人种或部落人还有“巫术”，“跳大神”。巫术的存在就是因为人们看不到那个布帘后的东西，“跳大神”是因为人有一腔“xx梦”。实现不了，最好的心理安慰就是“跳神”。

最近美国大选，不知道什么原因，触动了许多人的这个原始“基因”。

希拉里，一个为美国服务一生的一个女人，竟然被搞成了“卖国贼”和“罪犯”。

床铺，一个bully， 一个混世魔王，竟成了他们的救世主。

床铺这样的人在历史上早已有定义，就叫Demagogue。

估计大部分人连个影子都不知道什么是Demagogue。

这里是一段摘要：

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.
