In a sign of how explosive ICE knew this secret memo would be, one whistleblower says he was only allowed to read the memo and was barred from taking written notes, and warned that employees had been punished for disagreeing.

At least one ICE instructor resigned rather than teach the illegal memo!

Basically, I argued that Gamergate and the rise of Trump were part of a larger realization on the right that they would never win a rational argument again.

So they embraced a view that politics is a revenge project on the left for besting them in the realm of rationality and ideas.
