Exactly. It is a correct assessment. This is the reality - and a scary one for that matter.
One thing however needs to be remembered: that a certain direction or worldview is not automatically sanctified by the simple fact that it is approved by the "majority".
As a matter of fact, the "majority" is typically pretty stupid, self-defeating and led by the nose to disaster by the powerful few.
Again, Nazis - in their vast majority - believed that they had found the TRUTH and were kissing Hitler's ass like no tomorrow, without anybody in particular forcing them to do so.
I see America heading into a similar direction with its war mongering attitudes and blind self-righteousness.
Certainly, not a World to want to bring a child into...
