Trump can tweet “white power now! Get rid of the [slur/slur/slur] dysgenic scum NOW!” and the NYT headline would read “Trump sticks up for rural Americans, announces new plan to improve national health”
I’m impressed that unregulated capitalism created so many market-based Goebbels so quickly.

Dem. Leadership: "Members of your community being abducted by the Gestapo is a distraction from real issues, like the price of eggs. Also I saw one protestor do something I didn't like in the news once, so now I support the Gestapo."

Los Angeles, CA -
You heard it here first folks. Protesters ran into an apartment building were initially detained, but were let in by residents of the apartment building and then were sheltered by residents in the building. LAPD has given up on the detainments and are gone now.

Security forces abducted 2,000 people in the night and all you can say is that we're not being nice enough to the cops?

No, they just don't give a single shit about the people ICE is disappearing. They also know it's gauche to admit how racist they are and say it out loud, so they claim it's a "distraction" instead.

Oh, certainly. And you're correct that I have to not let those experiences lead me to make broader, unfair assumptions about folks. It's just difficult to separate that from remembering my middle school teacher extolling the "glory of the Confederacy" to the class whenever the topic comes up.

I spent most of my life living in rural Texas and I'm not sure I can agree. There were people I remember fondly who pushed back against it, but most of the community was deeply, deeply bigoted and living there felt bleak.

They're fascists defining an out-group and attacking it.

Weirdly enough, still less morally compromised than The Bomber Mafia.
