It feels kinda messed up, then, that the people who had been led into this with misplaced trust and false promises are the ones getting the bulk of the punishment, and not the people who sold them on lies in the first place.

I agree. Altho not in the sense that these people are being handed unfair judgement, they've all got off extremely light for the acts they committed. But it is a travesty of justice that the ones instigating it have received little to no punishment.

These people gobbled the propaganda up because it justified their bigotry. So my sympathies are limited.
