My MAGA cousin sent me a YT short of a clip from the movie Gangs of New York. In the clip a character was ranting about how useless immigrants were, along with some dehumanizing comments, and the USA should get rid of them, with my cousin saying he agreed wholeheartedly.

I pointed out that the character was the villain of the story, and the scene was being used to showcase how much of a bad guy he was. Sadly, this did not spark an "Are we the baddies?" moment for him.

Send him a scene from American History X and ask "This you?"
