Here's how a persecution complex plays out. The perp has some kind of personality problem and thinks people are out to get him. He attacks, thinking it's in self defense. Just like that we're at a critical juncture. Does the person fight back?
And, is the ground fertile for contagion? Is there insecurity in the land? Are there old grudges lying around? Usually individual instances of this, which abound, are absorbed into the system and never seen again. Not that there isn't harm.
There's loads of harm but no contagion. But if there is mass insecurity and groups about with festering grudges and lots of personality problems because the society has a 'soul sickness' it can catch on. We are there now. By intelligent design.
Republicans have made people more insecure and spread fear. Which they then exploit. Conspiracy theories flourish. And they think Trump is a savior, and that he's being persecuted. A wholly inverted, perverted, imaginary world.
