      Nope. They found out most folks are cool with the gays, educated people found out the “blacks commit crime” is actually “poor people commit crime”, everyone uses thc, we’re increasingly done with religion, media is representative of more than white cowboys who can only grunt “I’m manly!”, and we are friends with aethiests, hindis, muslims, and jews.

      Therefore we are obviously insane and have to die.

        Don’t forget Mexicans. Most people are cool with us doing the shit jobs nobody wants, but they don’t like the idea of us being here.

      They never really did.

      It was all, always, just about themselves. They claimed to love the country because they just saw it as a rightful extension of themselves, and they claimed to love democracy because they just saw it as the process by which they got what they wanted.

      Now that they’re faced with the fact that the country necessarily also accommodates other people and that democracy means that other people can get what they want, they have no reason left to pretend that they ever really valued either one.

      So they’re instead diving headfirst into xenophobic fascism, in the hope that they can recreate a world in which the country exists only for them and the government serves only their interests.

      Democracy is only good when you’re getting what you want.

      When you’re losing, its the Tyranny of the Majority, and it has to be stopped at all costs.
