These are the people who have been pulling the ladder up behind them and locking in their systemic advantages, which they use to siphon the country's wealth to themselves and their useless inheritors, creating a growing aristocracy of white conservative nepotism babies who have no idea how anything works and destroy everything they touch.

These people are incredibly stupid and easily swept up in faux religious hysteria that has everything to do with enforcing their racism and sexism on the rest of the world.

They feel threatened by facts and educated people, especially those who aren't white, and they would rather destroy everything -- especially education -- than have to share or listen to criticism or allow any kind of change.

These people are fascists. But the news media they own obviously won't call them that.
