What you are describing reminds me of the birth and evolution of Hitler's philosophy and the spread of his horrible political movement in Germany in the 1930s with the same dismissive nature and the attraction of these kinda populist groups who can hardly see common sense/good reasoning beyond the end of their noses and rigidly holding to extreme views. It's worrying and one can only hope that the majority of people in the USA eventually 'come through' and marginalize these people and their political favourites who are impressing them. They must be challenged for the greater good of the nation.
