This is the same thing that happened with UFOs, Atlantis, and aliens on cable TV in the 2010s. The paranormal conspiracies were the bait and then ufology and fringe archaeology funneled the audience straight into antigovernment conspiracies, white nationalism, and Trumpism.

I can save Republicans a lot of time here-you don’t need to persuade us that Abrego Garcia is a “bad guy.” We don’t care. Our constitution doesn’t say we get to disappear ppl just bc we don’t like what they’ve done. If it did, none of the Trump Administration would still be here.

I hate to be that guy, but this is the five-alarm fire, and every elected Democrat and frankly, every Washington reporter should be ringing the bell. If it can happen to him, it can happen to anyone. Nobody with a voice should give this administration a moment’s peace about it.

i have argued before that MAGA is recapitulating antebellum pro-slavery ideas about citizenship and bodily autonomy. one thing i am also thinking about, when it comes to the rendition of people to a foreign gulag, is the way it is reminiscent of the kidnapping of free blacks for sale into slavery
