Baldwin once said "I'm terrified at the moral apathy, the death of the heart, which is happening in my country. These people have deluded themselves for so long that they really don't think I'm human."

Literal fascists from literal antisemitic parties like Marine Le Pen and Georgia Meloni are being given more benefit of the doubt than a random Arab or Muslim in the West right now, and it shows.
