I and many others have noticed FR took a nasty turn when Trump supporters started attacking Cruz and Cruz supporters in very vicious tones.

It was surprising, but maybe it shouldn't have been.

Never before have we had a front-runner so eager to savage people on our side. He's made a nice career out of slinging invective at conservatives.

When the front-runner makes a habit of calling his fellow candidates "losers", "liars", "ugly" and the like, it's no wonder that the rhetoric of his supporters turns similarly nasty.

Other primary battles have been bruising, but that was usually over policy. Trump has made personal attacks his stock in trade, and I'm ashamed that other candidates (even mine) have followed suit in a race to the gutter.

How does that observed behavior fit within the role that DEMORALIZATION plays within the process of strategic cultural subversion — as described by KGB Defector Yuri Bezmenov?

Observe Breitbart’s comments on the “National Populist” trajectory:

“Trump won’t be able to trump Cruz on conservatism. So now he’s making clear that he isn’t running a conservative campaign - he’s running a nationalist and populist campaign. His enemies include both Republicans and conservatives”
