Good point. Black people, specifically, have put out a few videos saying as much. "Bless your little hearts, white people. We're sorry all that fascism didn't work out for you, but don't expect us to step in and save your Cracker asses. Just take a seat next to us on the Humanity Bus and we'll all get wherever we're going, together."

Fascism hypercharged with racism, I'd say, or maybe vice versa. Toward the end of Isabel Wilkerson's (great!) book CASTE, she quotes civil rights scholar Taylor Branch as saying that white people in the U.S. have to choose between whiteness and democracy. My response so far: "The jury's still out on that one."
