I get what you’re going for, but it’s hard to believe that when said billionaires’ propaganda campaign was so easily and eagerly adopted by the majority of one of our political party bases. Including some of our own family members who had never openly expressed such sentiments before.

The US is not anti immigrant.
There’s a few greedy white people with lots of money who bought the media and the elections who are anti-immigrant.
Don’t confuse policy with popular sentiment.

That is pretty much the point of propaganda. It takes advantage of people’s psychology to manipulate them.

For sure, great book and movie!
There are a few greedy people who figure out that no one will notice them picking folks pockets if they distract them with racism.
