Bigotry is by and large blind in lashing out, but sometimes its choice of targets reveals a deeper pathology.

One of the prime features of Trazism is denial - denial of history, denial of science, denial of facts, denial of responsibility. Denial as a weapon. And examples of it already existed well before Trump, specifically in Holocaust denial.

The vandalism of Jewish cemeteries may have just been a mindless act of petulant hate with no deeper misanthropic agenda, but it may reflect (consciously or otherwise) something even uglier and more monstrous: The desire to erase people from history.

And that in turn brings up a rather dystopian question: What fact, if any, is Donald Trump not willing to deny? There does not appear to be evidence of any limit to his mendacity.

He fabricates deaths that never happened, victims that never existed in order to promote his scapegoating propaganda campaign, so how much of a leap would it be for him to deny murders that actually do take place when the victims are his targets and the perpetrators his supporters?

Trump already ignores these incidents, so how much of a leap would it to be to "express skepticism" that the incidents ever happened, the same way so many of his followers deny the Sandy Hook massacre? How much of a leap from that skepticism to just outright dismissal? How far from there to saying that the victims never existed?

And once that line is taken, his terrorist followers would regard any tangible reminder of the victims as an affront to their Alternate Truth. They would attack memorials, knock over gravestones, and make threats against the families of victims (just as they have been against the parents of Sandy Hook victims).

They are waging war not only on the present and the future, but on the past. Orwell's special creatures.

And that is the thought that arises when reading of attacks on cemeteries. A block of stone with a name on it doesn't harm anyone, it merely notes that someone existed. What level of evil, then, does it require to find such a memorial intolerable? To wage war on the fact that someone existed?

Demolishing gravestones is merely a harbinger of what will occur on a much greater and more demonic level from Trump and his followers - a warning of what is going on in their malevolent little minds.
