I believe, not know — not even think, but believe that such people are dangerous — to the body politic and to individuals. It matters not if the TRUTH originates from the "left" or "right" — "Science" or "God" the conviction of TRUTH leads, almost inexorably, to violence and/or tyranny. >
    
Stopping behaviors that are counterproductive is different from promulgating a prescriptive ideology.   The point is to open up space for what might work, and that which has yet to be falsified.  The Trumpism behaviors are not drawn from a complex data set.
