That much of this is happening in California is truly telling. The state of California has one of the biggest networks of state-run prisons in the United States implies their economies were built on the principle of incarceration. All of this is a money making scheme.View attachment 97665![]()
The Big Ugly: Stephen Miller Uses His War on Home Depot to Invade California - emptywheel
Stephen Miller is transparently using the chaos he created by his demand for impossible arrest numbers from ICE to, first, federalize response to mostly-peaceful protest and, in turn, use the chaos created by that to call for passage of the Big Ugly Bill that would codify it all.www.emptywheel.net
We are SOOOOO different!! I don't even like popcorn. It HAS TO BE Jr. Mints, or Milk Duds.Everyone else in the rest of the world,
Season 1 of Trump was epic, that pandemic really spiced things up, although the medical advice was a bit suspect
The change of actor in season 2 was a bit of a let down, he kept forgetting his lines, was a bit boring
But Season 3, bringing the 1st actor back, and adding the rich guy to oversee things was good choice for viewing figures
Started off strong, now their break up adds and exciting twist

An unintended consequence of this bold action involves critical red state "priniciple", states rights. It has been viewed as inviolable by deep south racists since the crafting of the US Constitution and it is now on the table. Not since Kennedy forced Wallace's hand have we seen such dynamics Democrats have defacto sacrosanctified states rights, wrongly, no longer I forecast.This is exactly what the Trump Voters voted for, make no mistake, if you support the current administration you are in favor ignoring the rights enshrined in the Constitution.

True. That said, I see the citenzry character as slightly different than the German citenzry of that time. Americans are more self-indulgent, and have more self-interested thinking. Perhaps 30-40% of the populace may have consumed the America Hitler Kool Aid, but a majority plus have and will not drink it. Further, bluster is one thing, but when the individualism is encroached upon, protests and divsions will evolve in more complex ways than Trump will be able to resolve. At one point in 2015, I surmised that a second authoritarian administration would be needed to navigate and then overtake the deomocracy fully. I now believe one more is required, even with a bought Congress and a religiously intoxicated Supreme Court.Nazi punching season just opened
