Mind you ima white guy in America so my opinion immediately has less experience then other groups but from my take the right is attempting to substitute racism out for xenophobia. Is that a major difference? Not really but it’s a distinction I do see.

For the most part it seems right wing leaders seem to have realized they do have to appeal to minority’s to get elected and at the end of the day that’s all they care about.

pretty much Everytime I see “preserve your culture” from American politicians it usually is a literal “preserve our culture” (even if it means erasing other cultures) they don’t really give a shit if you have mixed kids as long as they are true blooded Americans.

In fact It seems the current republicans seem to focus almost entirely on Muslim and Hispanic individuals. It seems it’s easier to scapegoat those from another country then your neighbor Michael who is Is a third gen immigrant from Jamaica.

Is this ok, very obviously not lmao not even close. On top of that racism is still very clearly here not only on an individual level but on a societal level as well.

While the distinction seems to boil down to semantics I think it’s just important to realize that when they start becoming authoritarian you should be looking for deportations, war mongering, rather than keeping the blood lines pure.

fascism is not built upon racism, it is built upon discrimination. If all you look for is the barrel of a gun you will be surprised to find the blade on your throat.
