The funniest part is, let’s imagine for a second they get their dream. Only white people left.
They’ll IMMEDIATELY further sub-divide into finer in and out groups and start cannibalizing each other again. This will continue until there’s one moron left.
Bacon’s rebellion was the first rebellion in the North American colonies in which discontented frontiersmen took part. A somewhat similar uprising in Maryland involving John Coode and Josias Fendall took place in 1689. The alliance between European indentured servants and Africans (a mix of indentured, enslaved, and Free Negroes) disturbed the colonial upper class. They responded by hardening the racial caste of slavery in an attempt to divide the two races from subsequent united uprisings with the passage of the Virginia Slave Codes of 1705.
That’s not to say this is all really about class warfare, but a lot of the leaders of our current political mess sure do have a lot of wealth.

It’s all a long historic pattern

Seems inevitable that some group will do that eventually. Everyone wants to drive the hate bus if they’re close enough to the front.
