Again.... for those in the back row.

The best word to describe the current administration is.

Sadopopulism

Sadopopulist leaders follow a simple formula:

1. Identify An “enemy”
2. Enact Policies That Create Pain In Their Own Supporters
Blame The Pain On The “enemies”
3. Present Themselves As The Strongmen Who Can Fight And Defeat The Enemies. They Govern By Creating Pain And Manipulating Fear.
