Look at the selfish part, b/c bigotry is ignorance but also power. Bigots are empowered by joining the club, getting praise from their comrades, and excluding others. “Real men” (and women ;) don’t want that boost. They practice respect.
Look at the rhetoric now against immigrants. Same idea.

Did you notice how the spaceship door closed without a seam? What they did was caulk the door shut, open it, and then play the film in reverse. I love this sort of practical, elegant approach to special effects long before the computers made everything slick.

Yeah I’m sure they’ll get right on it. As you probably know, those conglomerates want Congress to raise the 39% limit on monopolies, set when one of them last expanded. Nexstar is aiming for a $6b merger.

Oh please, I think he’s satisfied with the $3.5b he’s collected so far. (Just kidding.)
