Well said and insightful. You have exposed a real Achilles Heel of contemporary culture — people’s media-softened lack of critical thinking skills and the absence a moral compass from which to assess the world. I tell my children and students that evil does not come with a label. Did young Mr. Hitler have a sign on him that said “I am evil; beware”? If you don’t have the moral compass to figure it out and the mental tools to think it through (Hitler’s philosophy was all there in black and white in “Mein Kampf” early on), you are fodder for the fakes like, dare I say, the current occupant of the Oval Office.
