Nature
Political leadership on the basis of a popular appeal from impassioned speeches invoking popular emotion and prejudice, demagoguery contains elements of hero worship and megalomania and makes free use of propaganda.
Incidence
The Cold War period in the USA (and probably equally in the former Soviet Union) was characterized by extravagant demagoguery over national security issues.
