    Unfortunately, I have a feeling that racism/xenophobia is going to be on the rise what with cost of living pressures and the housing crisis.

      Insert: Murdoch Cookie meme. You know they are definitely going to ramp it up in the media as a distraction from the billionaires hoarding the wealth and destroying the planet.

        Hell yeah. I keep coming back to that LBJ quote: “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”
