Peter Wehner: “Trump’s rhetoric is a permission slip for his supporters to dehumanize others simply as he does. He portrays others as existential threats, decided to destroy all the things MAGA world loves about America. Trump is doing two issues without delay: pushing the narrative that his enemies have to be defeated whereas dissolving the pure inhibitions most human beings have towards hating and harming others.”
“It alerts to his supporters that any means to conquer the opposite facet is authentic; the traditional constraints that govern human interactions not apply.”
