ABSTRACT
In this chapter, I seek to capture the crisis of liberal democracy, by drawing on a theoretical assessment of the joint impact of three approaches: popular culture, digital media, and emotionally driven decisions. My goal is to illuminate how these three issues are interdependent and inextricably linked. Although these three components are rarely grouped together in the context of such an analysis, the present study does not merely wish to assert that the posited relationship obtains between them, but that it is necessary to take them into account to properly understand the late modern crises of democracy.
