if told to. do anything that goes against their moral compass.. kill, maim, destroy, cut off ties with family members.. it is classic, brainwashing.. and it can happen to anyone.. it is a mainstay of cults.. Jim Jones got over 900 people to commit suicide, murder, even kill their own children because he said so.. It did not happen over night.. it is slow gradual and almost impossible to get out of.. ask Scientologists.. Germans do not have some DNA malfunction that let them accept the movement and murder (where did the average citizenry think those trains were going?) of 1/4th of all Jewish people on earth.. they were literally brainwashed in a group pressure cooker..I am not talking about the monsters who killed people..but just the average citizen.. and look at how republicans mealy mouth about anything that DT does that is so abhorrent. They are not sitting in the inner sanctum with the powers in that movement..but their acceptance of what is happening is chilling.. and can lead to anything..
When Donald Trump said that he could go out and shoot someone on a corner and his supporters would still support him.. he knew what he was talking about.. He did a Charles Mason on a national level..
Scary times my friends..and we need to be supportive of those on the conservative side who are trying to get this message out.. maybe they were even pulled into the influence for time..but are now trying to shine a light on the dark corners
Scary times.. But it is in scary times when we need to speak the loudest about lies and half truths that target innocent people.. while we may not commit that act.. not speaking against it, is accepting it..
