That's exactly the main point of "The Accursed Galaxy", by Edmond Hamilton.

He makes more compelling and far more sinister, of course.

The most terrifying thing is seeing theoretical left wing parties (socialists, for example) taking a no immigration stance, for fear of losing votes.

There is no way I am voting to xenophobic party ever.

And I don't think I am the only one.

I have no close ties with any immigrants, it is only a matter of integrity and basic human rights for me. I cannot imagine what can people who does be thinking now.

Some politicians have shit for brains.

More urgent: to appoint as High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy a secondary school teacher with 10 years of experience.

The main asset of fascism is non-fascist defeatism.

Don't ever concede a victory to them without first fighting it.

It is the way Trump wins his battles: making people feel fear and desperation.

For as long there are urns, they must be used.

For as long there are streets, they must be used.

Otherwise, democracy dies.

From the article:

"The timing, too, seems right. When Gourmet first launched 75 years ago, in January of 1941, with a big strange illustration of a boar’s head on its cover, the Fascist pigs were on the march. Within a few years, the classical colonial empires would finish dying their prolonged and violent deaths, the world would be transformed under America’s hegemony, and the wheat and milk and Coca-Cola of the semi-automated food industry would flush into the diets of half the world. We still live in that system, but it’s difficult to shake the sense that a change is afoot. The espressos have been ordered, but the bill has not yet come."

So true.
