In my recent CFP/AFP article Living Rent Free, I took a tongue-in-cheek look at Trump Derangement Syndrome. Many of us have viewed this as a term to describe the hate that too many people hold toward President Trump, MAGA, and all his supporters. New information has come to my attention that suggests that there may actually be a form of mental illness driven by the widespread vitriolic hate-speech expressed by high profile political figures all over America.
“If they can make you accept absurdities, they can then make you commit atrocities.” ~ Voltaire
The number one problem in America today is that the absurdities preached by socialist Democrats has been accepted by too many Americans who are products of the socialist American indoctrination system, masquerading as an education system. As we sit today, about 80% of Americans appreciate and support the actions being taken by the Trump administration. The remaining 20% of Americans are so blind, irrational, and hate-filled toward Trump and his supporters that they act against their own best interest.
In America and elsewhere, it is those who have accepted one or more of the above absurdities who have lost touch with reality and are committing atrocities. The aforementioned high profile political figures, by their inflammatory insightful rhetoric are, in my opinion, accessories before the fact in the attempted assassination of President Trump, the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and other violence across America.
What is happening in America and Europe demonstrates a terrifying reality that Voltaire was exactly right about human nature. If you believe absurdities and you become subject to committing atrocities, sometimes on a massive scale.
