The propaganda machine told them Trump was Hitler. The universities taught them dissent is violence. The algorithms amplified their rage — echo chambers where hatred fed on itself until it was all they could hear. The tribe rewarded their conformity. And then the bullets came — four men driven to kill people they were taught to hate. A philosophy student called the Supreme Court and half the nation fascist. Forty-one percent of Democrats say killing a political leader is justified. Twenty-eight percent say the country would be better off if Trump were assassinated. This is what happens when a generation stops thinking for itself. Dietrich Bonhoeffer warned us from a Nazi prison cell exactly where this leads. They hanged him for it.
"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
