Problem is, most Americans have been waiting for these kinds of signs and while there are signs all around us – they aren’t exactly like this. Even as president twitler doesn’t get these kinds of crowds and while he wants to put on the militaristic show, the military isn’t going for it. So they look at the old films and news reels and think “not here” – or if they’re a little more honest “not yet” – and don’t accept that history rhymes rather than repeating itself. But yes, America has always had a very strong, very violent, strain of WASP supremacism. (& you’ll note the speaker kept saying “gentile” rather than “Christian” – that way they didn’t have to include Catholics without obviously not including them. Then they could use Catholics to help take out “others”‘ before it was their turn.)
