for many decades.

They have worn them down, broken down their sense of reason and decency with the endless barrage of evil liberal boogyman bullshit.

They evil liberal boogyman is the sum of all that is evil in the world, they are victims to this scurge and any and everything is justified in this life and death battle.

It really is what the Nazis did with Jews starting in the 1920s.

While they might otherwise be good and decent people, it is a choice to allow yourself to buy into it.
