One of the best side effects of neoliberal policies that empoverished places like Detroit, for the fascists, is that it allowed them to construct an argument against nonwhite empowerment. They say, I've heard it with my own ears, that "before Black people ran those cities, they were safe, clean and prosperous; now they're crime ridden urban wastelands full of corruption; this is why we need to go back to white supremacy/per-Civil Rights Act laws." It's the Reconstruction mythology repurposed.
