Far-right, Opus Dei-type Catholics (like Alito) are tolerated - if they're willing to play second fiddle.

All other White folks are very much considered "race traitors" who've (somehow) wronged them and must be dealt with accordingly.

Having grown in Mi'ssippi, a lot of this is a trip down memory lane.
