10. I think that legislators and business people feel the threat (usually implicit)

And of course, protect their own interests, in the usual way, kissing ass.



But SO many others vigorously defend the very people robbing them blind, destroying jobs, education, integrity and opportunity.

It's not the immigrants, one of any number of minorities or "libs"

BUT HATE WORKS.
Blaming others is how the majority of people live and project their fears, weaknesses and failures onto others.

It's the fascist playbook.

"We have met the enemy and he is us"



and what do they get?

FAFO!!

MORANS WORK AGAINST THEIR OWN BEST INTEREST.
They just think with their hate glands.
