From Rolling Stone:

If there's one thread tying together the Great Panic of 2016, it's that it dates back to one of the most destructive political tactics in history: scapegoating.

One would think that we'd have learned better by now. Because when a politician points a finger at a group of people and says, "It's their fault," and backs this assertion up with distortions, lies, and stereotypes that spread fear, what usually follows is at best discrimination and at worst genocide. And with the hindsight of history, similar so-called threats from witches, Jews, communists, intellectuals, Tutsis, Croats and so many others have proven to be groundless manipulations spread through bold lies with a high human cost.



Good article - puts Trump's candidacy into global and historical perspective.
