    Yup, it's the same old song of fascists and cultists.

    "Are you lonely, sad, angry, or just generally dissatisfied with your life? Have you tried blaming your problems on a minority with less power in society than yourself? Act now, and I'll throw in a second minority, free!*"

    *Just pay shipping and handling.
