demagoguery theme
Someone, typically an aspiring popular leader or a "rabble-rouser", in a political context uses speeches, fine or incendiary words, rhetorical tricks and the like, to whip up the passions of the crowd.
Notes
It is often the case that the "crowd" consists of commoners and that they are being organized in opposition to an elite. This is not a logical necessity. The theme would also apply in a story if a group of aristocrats were being agitated against the lower classes, to take but one example.
