    They don’t care. They are lazy cowards who will give up everyone’s rights for a false sense of safety. Trump can say whatever he wants because they don’t take anything he says seriously. The more active among them are convinced that Trump is a “tool” to get what they want. Little do they know they are the ones being used.

      Thats how it is for most of humanity, from Hitler, through Putin, to Trump, same playbook to appeal to the 80%

      “Susan Sontag was asked what she had learned from the Holocaust, and she said that 10% of any population is cruel, no matter what, and that 10% is merciful, no matter what, and that the remaining 80% could be moved in either direction” —Kurt Vonnegut
