In this, The Age of Stupid, we live in a time when huge numbers of the righteous believe those who murder in the tens of thousands deserve our support and are morally superior to those who kill a thousand. Though respecting (and loving some) individuals I've always been wary of humans in large numbers. In large numbers we are too easily persuaded to become a mob ("Give me your vote and I'll give you a scapegoat" - "Yes *please*!"). However, though familiar with the time honoured endemic wielding of misogyny, homophobia, racism and ableism (Antisemitism is racism. Racism isn't only for those who aren't white) I underestimated the pace of the acceptance of "alternative facts". I underestimated the gullibility and eagerness of swathes of revenge seeking bible wielding right wingers, not knowing why they want revenge, knowing only that they want to hurt anyone who is not like them. And I underestimated the lack of attention of those whose parents or grandparents suffered under dictatorships, totalitarianism, fascism (now politically correctly called "authoritarianism") who have eagerly voted for and are eager to vote for the return of those regimes and the brutality, viciousness and casual, murderous cruelty that goes with them. Similar to those Brits who, having retired to Europe, voted for Brexit (dummkopfs) those eager to vote for an orange tinted American Caesar think they'll be safe from the effects (dummkopfs).
