26. Their minds were poisoned because they were susceptible to poisoning.

That's a much bigger and older question than just Trump and Fox - it's why people think that way or allow themselves to be influenced to think that way. Why were there Nazis 80 years ago? Why was there slavery? Why did the Ku Klux Klan exist? Why are some people so horrible to other people? Kind of a big, cosmic, ancient question. For awhile I was naive enough to think maybe we as a country would never go back to that sort of thing, but I guess some of us are just as evil as ever.
