James Keys and Tunde Ogunlana take a look at the 2020 @PBS documentary “McCarthy – Power Feeds on Fear,” which tells the story of US Senator Joe McCarthy and his anti-communism demagoguery in the 1950s. The guys also discuss the things in that society that allowed it to happen or even promoted it and what characteristics can make societies more susceptible to a demagogue takeover.
