Has always been the case. No one listened to minorities about it and the gullible were gaslit with self-interest or bribery. The enemy has always been within. One of my least favorite Presidents is Lincoln, because we should have never had a civil war to preserve this unholy, unGodly union. So much would have been prevented if The South had been left to rot.

We could have quarantined the evil. But no ... We integrated it. Now we are IT.

There is an ever present fear that if there are too many immigrants they will take over positions of authority and then treat the rich white people the same way the rich white people treated them. It's not about being a victim, it's about the possibility of being a victim.

That fear exists on both sides by the way. One side is just about exercising control and trying to prevent change while the other side is about trying to be more equitable now so that if demographics change then that equity will remain in place. It's a better mindset but it can still come off as patronizing.

The American Revolution itself was a tax revolt by men of means. The British needed to raise revenue after its long war with France, which actually kicked the French out of the "American" frontier. Some thanks!

Washington himself wanted to be a British Officer. The arguments against King George were misplaced as it was the British Parliament that raised the taxes.

The fetishization of the "militia" was unfortunately enshrined in the worst piece of law ever to be passed by the US -- the Second Amendment.

I think I've figured out what goes on in their heads. They've got a warped understanding of what's happening in this country. They see people saying that they are victims and getting money from the government, so if they lie and say they've been victimized, maybe they can get some. They don't understand that these people have actually suffered, because they don't view them as people.

And I'm sure that they will be out there picking strawberries when all the immigrants have gone.

Oddly, the main villain from the new Indiana Jones game got it spot on:

“Nothing is quite so easy to manipulate as an insecure male!”

It's all a right wing conspiracy to those who believe that 'right wing' is anyone who even remotely disagrees with Karl Marx.
