is given to political pageantry involving mass meetings, songs, marches, torchlight, repetitive slogans, bands, banners, to provide entertainment to prevent people from thinking too much.

These are often provided at mass meetings, which are an attempt to take an advantage of crowd psychology (Neumann 239). Such meetings often contain other elements associated with pagentry: songs, marches, torchlight, repetitive slogans, bands, and banners (Fisher 111). The rallies at which demagogues spoke were often reminiscent of 'carnivals' (Larson), 'Barnumism,' and 'showmanship' (Luthin 303). They provided entertainment to attract listeners and simultaneously to prevent them from thinking too much.
