They have been indoctrinated into believing there is an invasion, that this invasion is harming them, and that this invasion needs to be stopped.

They are not intrinsically evil people. They are people who have been duped into believing they are saving lives. And it will continue to get worse because of those who say "oh they're mentally ill" or "my right to own a gun is all-important" or "fake media" "this or that political whatever." Otherwise intelligent people choosing to ignore, or forgive, or pretend that this elephant doesn't exist.

It exists, it is ugly, it is telling otherwise mundane people that a) they need to be angry, b) it is "other's" fault, and c) if they got violent, it'd be okay.
