Probably twentyish years ago, I read some comment or other that when reading right-wing propaganda, just mentally replace "immigrant" with "jew" and see how it sounds to you. Since then I can never not see that, and I think it really is the key to understanding the nature of these movements; they thrive on dehumanization of groups of humans. There's an LBJ quote that springs to mind immediately:

> “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.”
