Hitler scapegoated immigrants, easy to wrongfully blame.David Tollerton writes:

A similar dynamic is in operation today. The gradual “othering” of migrants to the US – and, indeed, of refugees in Europe and elsewhere – has the same feeling of an incremental downward spiral in the public’s humanity.

Brain-Dead Brexit was all about immigrants, and how did that work out? A disaster.

Singling out one group for de-humanizing is taking the downward road. It just leads to others.

The most stunning aspect of this assault on the economy, mental health, health care, and gun violence is that the GOP (Guardians of Pedophiles) have produced NO, ZERO, NADA, ZILCH, alternative, not even private solutions, just destruction.
