"The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street" (Twilight Zone, 1961)

"The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices - to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy, and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own... for the children, and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone."
- Rod Serling, March 1961

Yeah. 😔 That is an episode that has to come to mind for me, also, many times over the years. Never more so, though, than in the last 11 years.

I couldn't remember the title of it, at first, but found it with an online search. I haven't forgotten it, since.
