Wait till we start having mass migrations within the US and people start talking about interstate border walls. I don't know how many people remember Katrina, but Fox News and other right wing outlets made a pretty penny demonizing the Black refugees who were temporarily evacuated to Texas. As this shit becomes more long-term the ecofascism dial is gonna get cranked right up to 11.
We don't have to go back that far. The 2018 pre-election "caravan" was a threat to America. Until the day of the election - and then - poof - it wasn't anything at all.
Sadly, it wasn't till the Obama years when I really internalized the Liberals weren't left. The Bush years made it very easy to blame everything on Republicans.

They're talking about a hate specifically towards climate refugees from within the United States, though.
The phony caravan thing was to drum up hate for refugees from outside the US.
Right, but I'm talking about internal to the US; US citizens. Puerto Rico after Hurricane Matthew would be another good more recent example.
Republicans don't know Puerto Ricans are American citizens lol
Too true.😅
the post-Katrina discourse was maybe the single most radicalizing period of my life
