The tragedy of American politics is that people who are shat upon too often aspire to get to a position where they can shit shit on others. People whose grandparents were called “micks” and “wops” are all too happy to call today’s immigrants “wetbacks”, people whose grandparents were poor white tenant farmers are all too happy to look down on people whose grandparents were poor black tenant farmers.

This phenomenon is not limited to American politics at all! (How many bullies are victims of abuse at home?) This is default behavior of everyone who has not bothered to introspect and become conscious of their actions and motives.
