What truly fills me with despair is how Americans are fine with this — even happy about it, enthused at any degradation of immigrants. Is a Republic made up of such people worth preserving?

People often assume the emotions associated with cruelty are hatred and anger, but it’s actually pleasure and joy. Fascists relish their cruelty. They roll it around on their tongue like a mouthful of full-bodied wine. They laugh as they harm.
