By the time my life is done I will have been privy to a historical arc that has touched upon the same things which have always existed. I will have been exposed to the same ignorance, stupidity, greed, goodness and altruism that have always formed part of the human experience.
The Trumpism storyline reminds me of what happened during Hitler's ascension into power. "He can't possibly be that bad" people said as he kept pushing the envelope. In Mein Kampf Hitler wrote that is was easier for people to digest big deceptions than little ones and he was absolutely right. I have seen it with my own eyes having seen beliefs from people that when I was younger would have left me dumbfounded at the sheer stupidity.
The thing that many don't understand is that some people aren't mortified when we say that Trump has fascist leanings. Instead they are drawn in by it because the savior and the sheep mentality forms part of their desired schema.
