China, North Korea, based on long-standing communist political control infrastructure, and Iran..a theocracy, gave rise to dictators for reasons other than racism. Otherwise, racism and hatred of immigrants are tickets to the front-row seat of the drama of demagoguery. Particularly in the Western world since the end of the Cold War, in Turkey, Hungary, and Russia, racism and ethnic nationalism have boosted dictators to power. These are instances where there was a weak form of democracy in place and fear of Middle Eastern or certain ethnic/immigrants seeking refuge "poisoning blood or culture" of the existing super majority of the current demographic makeup. The question becomes in the US, with only 57 percent of the population white, whether the Trumpian "adulterating the blood" would resonate with enough of them to succeed. In any case,. given the diversity we already have, any attempt to instill white nationalist policies will likely be violent. Domestic tranquillity will be at risk, impacting domestic prosperity until the turmoil subsides. If Trump gets elected, we are in for scary, hard times.
