'''Demonization''' is when a [[demagogue]], or group of demagogues, paints their ideological enemies or [[scapegoats]] in terms intended to render them as irredeemably evil and fit only for destruction, which is usually presented as 'self-defense'.  Possibly the best-known example of demonization in the 20th century was the [[Nazi]]s' demonization of [[Jews]], which played off of existing [[antisemitism]] for political gain and eventually led to the [[Holocaust]], or those of [[Iraqi]]s by [[George W. Bush]] administration.
