The lesson for Nazis and Deplorables is that bigotry and xenophobia are impediments to scientific progress.
The Nazi ideologues considered general relativity and quantum mechanics to be Jewish science, and they dismissed Jewish physicists from German universities and drove them to emigrate. Something which apparently left Heisenberg appalled.
This scientific purge probably hindered Nazi progress on the atomic bomb.
USA scientific premminence has been ensured by drawing the best scientific minds from across the world, regardless of creed or ethnicity, based on relatively liberal immigration policies.
Science in the US is built on immigrants. Will they keep coming?
