39. It's all part of the dehumanization and "other-izing"...

...that we've seen going back decades. How many of their moronic TV and radio shows regularly tee off on "woke coastal elites", etc. while conspicuously advertising that only they are the real Americans! Even the show titles carry that message. Some of them even plagiarize each other: both Hannity's America and Janet Parshall's America existed at about the same time (I have no idea which came first). John Kasich was on the Fox "News" show From the Heartland, and OANN has Real America (the word "Real" appearing in bright red). I'm probably also forgetting at least a few additional examples.
