  Certainly not. I think they have cynically manipulated by politicians taking advantage of some amount of real cultural disapproval. They cultivate the grievances and push them even more extremes.

    Politicians are just people. They're not space aliens like Kang and Kodos. Politicians are citizens and came from the same place as everyone else. They're just as much a product of the local culture as everyone else in their locality.

      Sure. Politics is a group dynamic. And in this case it has a clear tendency towards an extreme that is self harming. But almost none of the individuals are driving towards that intentionally.

        > But almost none of the individuals are driving towards that intentionally. I disagree with that.
