I've been shocked by the way people will believe violent Demagogues who convince them horrible things are okay if they're doing them for the benefit of their group of people.
The number of conspiracy theories people of the past were willing to believe about queer folk, foreign people and anyone who didn't conform is absolutely staggering.
Glad we out grew that.
