Kasparov on Trump: "The demagogue doesn't lead radicals, he radicalizes his supporters"

Link to tweet

"The demagogue doesn't lead radicals, he radicalizes his supporters. With each outrage he drags them down by association until they feel they have no one else, and no one else will have them. It works."
(linking to NYT tweet: "In campaign rally, Trump mocks cancer-stricken John McCain, the infirm George H.W. Bush, the #MeToo movement and Elizabeth Warren, but praises Vladimir Putin. "
