They are a doctor's visit or a pink slip away from descending into the abyss of poverty. Economic insecurity fosters and in turn is fostered by other social and psychological anxieties. Immigrants and new ideas can become more fearful in a nation that has always had a rather robust sense of its own superiority and more than its fair share of religious and constitutional fundamentalisms.
