The key word is "widescale". The reason is that a malignant narcissist can get a small group of cultists to do anything. But in order to get a large group of cultists to do something, he needs a propaganda machine like fox News and they have a much older demographic

I think the examples I gave were wide-scale for their time in history.

But I don't really want to argue against OPs point. The intelligent, not yet indoctrinated, youth are usually on the right side of history.
