They asked the question, "How could all those reasonable people have permitted Hitler and the Nazi's to do the atrocious things they did?" Of course, that question has been asked of all of those societies that permitted monstrous evil to walk the streets unchallenged.
Our society is answering that question with a living demonstration. The news media, once responsible, is now demonizing everything they disagree with in the most extreme and irrational ways. Conservative Christianity is caricatured as the cause for the loss of faith. Conservative thought is seriously described as a form of insanity. Conservative religion is styled as "extreme" and "fundamentalistic". Advocates for liberal agendas openly assault institutions that they see as standing in their way - illustrated for us by gay activists interrupting worship services to throw literature and condoms around, and shout epithets at the worshipers.
Because 53 percent of the voters selected a candidate who was openly associated with the cause of the social progressives, those who identify with that cause feel empowered and emboldened to spew their opinions publicly, and the media is reporting it all as though it were important news.
When the extremists have control of the political, and the media give voice only to them and their ilk, you end up with a society doing monstrous things, and pretending it is all so very reasonable. Big Brother has finally arrived, he just got here twenty-five years behind schedule.
God help us, the inmates have taken over the asylum.
