Pope Leo X condemned heretics for attempting to "deceive the multitude of the simple." Modern commentators see the public as gullible, childish and ignorant, "an easily manipulated mass movement that is simply unwilling to listen to reason". Our nation's founders, however, believed the people could think for themselves and rule their own lives, leaving most Americans today unwilling to submit to elitist tyranny.
The United States was designed as a nation of ideals and an experiment in self-rule, not just in government but for individuals. After a history of oppression, the people were free to think for themselves and reach their own conclusions about the most fundamental concepts of life without the civil authority enforcing the dictates of a religious establishment. But a new oppression grew up in its place that uses government and the fervor of religion to enforce compliance.
Tyranny of the Mind reveals a parallel between the Roman Catholic Church of historic Europe and the radical left in this country today, each presuming the common people incapable of thinking for themselves and making the "correct" decisions without the guidance of more knowledgeable, morally superior masters. By revealing the shared tactics of tyranny, Nazism and Fascism are placed where they belong with the other centrally controlled, authoritarian regimes that sacrifice the individual to the common good, a class, race or other group identity and far from the individualism of our founding.
Tyranny identifies a common culture and morality upon which our nation and Donald J. Trump's America Firstmovement was founded, representing individual liberty limited only by the equal liberty of others, empowered by a free market and personal responsibility, and understood from the perspective of those who have lived the American Dream and learned from practical experience the principles that built our nation. The legacy of these ideals has left the vast majority of Americans with a drive for fairness and justice and an intolerance for racism and abuse.
But traditional media, establishment politics and liberal academic culture have abandoned and vilified the common Americans behind modern populist movements and the nation we revere, twisting everything we believe into a grotesque caricature. Tyranny counters this distortion, presenting historical figures in their own words, in context, exposing with prophetic clarity our founders' understanding of the conflicts we still face today while providing new insights about the variety of Anti-American movements impacting our country.
