The US is heading down a terrifying road. A road that has been traveled by so many other countries - Italy, Germany, Czechoslovakia. etc. Find an easily identifiable powerless group within your population and get the rest of the population to see them as the problem while the Oligarchs sit back and rape the country. Currently in the US it is people of color - whether they be black, hispanic, middle eastern, or any group that is not white (and we are working on including anyone who is not Evangelical Christian in that group as well).

We have our prisons-for-hire, can interrment camps be far behind?
