Trump voters repeated one of the most ancient, dangerous mistakes in mankinds history. [View all]

They listened to and believed in a message and then completely ignored the history, motives and character of the messenger.

This is what cult followers do. The german people of the thirties did this. Hitlers history was not a secret. The people of the south leading up to the civil war made this mistake.

It's ok to follow a message that looks and sounds good from some one of high character, a person with a good history , good motives. It's fatal if you follow that message and it comes from someone who has a bad history, bad motives and character.
