The current rhetoric in Ohio about immigrants reminds me of something out of The Twilight Zone (midwest.social)

It makes me think of this episode specifically:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Monsters_Are_Due_on_Maple_Street

I remember watching/reading/dissecting this episode in junior high. In Ohio. It's fucking nuts to see this playing out in real life.

The ending narration:

The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices ... to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill ... and suspicion can destroy ... and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own—for the children and the children yet unborn.
