Michael Savage - Stop mass hysteria : America’s insanity from the Salem witch trials to the Trump witch hunt

H atred is in the air. We are living in an age of hate, in which mental pollution is worse than air pollution. The most accessible and comprehensive of all unifying agents, hatred is spreading like a virus into all-too-willing hosts. It unifies knee-jerk liberals, no matter what their other differences. Hatred of conservatives, Trump, and his voters is just one of many cases of mass hysteria infecting American society today, but it is likely the most destructive.

As I write these words, three of the most malicious acts in living memory have been perpetrated by agents of the left. First, AntiFAthat group of lawless, self-styled, antifascist anarchists masquerading as activistshas published the home addresses of agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE),With these cowardly, masked goons, violence against our public servants is inevitable.

The second obscenity was the odious suggestion by Peter Fonda, brother of the infamous Hanoi Jane, son of the onetime gray-listed communist sympathizer Henry Fonda, that Barron Trump, son of the president of the United States, be locked in a cage with pedophiles. Its appropriate that, in this stoners view, the real animal is the one outside the cage.

Flip that for a moment. Can you imagine what would have happened to anyone who tweeted that kind of sentiment about the daughters of Barack Obama? Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, and every shockable Democrat on Capitol Hill would have been calling for blood.

The third obscenity is courtesy of mad California congresswoman Maxine Waters, who screamed to an audience at a toy drive that they should harass President Donald Trump and the people who work for him. If you see anybody from that Cabinet you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them. She has decided, apparently, that God is on her side. Maybe she heard that from a burning bush. Or a burning tire at a riot the kind caused by the kind of incendiary, high-decibel, hysterical rhetoric of which she is so fond.

Where is the outrage? More important, where is the humanity? Where is the decency?

It is gone. It is lost in the sea of mass hysteria that dominates our world in a way and at a level that history has never before seen. Can it be stopped before we have an actual civil war? Can it be stopped before America is lost?

The question is a real one.

On the same day as those earthquakes hit the cheering mainstream media, President Trumpafter just one day of bad social Mind you, the policy was designed to stop criminals, to prevent individuals from crossing our borders illegally. For these people, children were just the props to make leftist hearts bleed and to let the lawbreakers take advantage of the benefits of living in this country.

I was initially disappointed in the president. But then I thought about what he said: Were keeping families together and this will solve that problem. At the same time we are keeping a very powerful border and there continues to be zero tolerance.

There was a storm of protest from the left, one that the media would have fanned so that the smoke of that fire would obscure every goal President Trump has for this nation. He made a disagreeable decision, one that went against the law and his own ideals. He made a political decision. Maybe thats why he may turn out to be the greatest commander in chief of our era.

Trump put statesmanship above the desires of his electorate. You know, if President Richard Nixon had done that when the Watergate scandal brokeowned up to an environment he created that allowed for corruptionhe might never have had to resign. It would not have defined his administration and obscured his real achievements.

The president capitulated so that we could get off this topic and try to solve the problem of illegal immigration and anchor babies through legislation, which, of course, the Democrats have been stonewalling in an effort to poison Trump to voters. Care for the illegal immigrants? Thats not even on the Democrats radar.

The jury is out on whether the president, by putting out this fire, can turn to stopping the bigger one: our porous and ineffective borders. My fearand my guttell me that the social virus of all-consuming hate of the left is impervious to dispassionate reason, just as physical viruses are impervious to antibiotics.

The left does not just hate President Trump. They hate this nation.

In this book, I will expose the many contemporary and historical cases of mass hysteria, going as far back as Columbus. Whether the mass movement is run by Farrakhan, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Moses, Abraham, Isaac, Muhammadit doesnt matter. The cause and the symptoms are the same.

Ive found that virtually all mass movements rely upon hatred, with perhaps the exception of modern Christianity. In the beginning, Christianity was not born of nor was it spread by the gospel of hatred. Christianity was born of love and spread through the gospel of love, overcoming the gospels of hatred in the past and during our time. Can you say the same about other religions?

In The True Believer, Eric Hoffer wrote, Mass movements can rise and spread without belief in a God, but never without belief in a devil. He posited that the strength of the mass movement was proportionate to the vividness and tangibility of its devil,

Hoffer relates the story of a Japanese mission, visiting Berlin in 1932 to study the National Socialist movement, lamenting they had no devil equivalent to the Jews in their own country.
