Some form "the volk" or the people, as the Evil One claimed in Nazi Germany and everyone else is "the other," such as Jews, Communists, Roma, Slaves, and the mentally or physically disabled.

The "other" are subhuman, the root of all of society's evils, and they deserve to be subjugated and/or killed.

Trump's playbook (and Greene's) isn't so different. They target Mexicans, trans people, African Americans and others as their scapegoats, but the basics are the same.

Dangerous stuff.
