Ordinary Americans carried out inhumane acts for Trump

[Perseus]

18. This is a good story and raises questions

These questions I have always had when reading about dictatorships, and I have always wondered why people like the article describes "went back home, had dinner with the family and read stories to their kids", would act on what has to be against their principles and/or natural human conscience.

Every dictatorship has military whose personnel comes from low/middle society but you still see them abuse people from their own classes, and one has to wonder what makes these people act that way, of course they have to know its wrong. The man putting handcuffs on a five year old must have related to one of his kids, if he had one, or a cousin, a neighbour...what makes these people act that way? I wish I had the answer, but regardless of the answer, it is a mass of people ordered by a sick regime who will turn against their own.

And here lies the danger, that is why people need to be very aware not to stop at Trump, but to see beyond because it is Bannon, Ryan, McConnell the ones the USA democracy has to be very aware of, those are the ones pulling the strings, Trump is just a very convenient decoy, which will be discarded when it is of no more use, but the others are the ones making the shots.
