Summary of Patricia Roberts-Miller's Demagoguery and Democracy

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 There is a tendency to talk as though identity politics is a new phenomenon, but there have always been people who want to reduce politics to identity. This reduction of complicated policy questions to whether liberals or conservatives are better has four troubling consequences. #2 There are many rules of rhetoric, and they all center around the idea of inclusion. When discussing policies, we should favor inclusion, fairness, responsibility, self-skepticism, and the stases or stock issues.
