I keep hearing about how Dems are the party of "identity politics" and yet it's Republicans who always reach to identity for everything.
God forbid we talk about guns. There have been 452 mass shootings this year; this shooting doesn't even make the list because fewer than 4 people were shot.

I drive deliveries some days and today I saw two houses with trurnp campaign flags that were tattered, faded, torn, dirty, and just plain nasty. It struck me as illustrative of the current situation in the U.S. right now.

According to these criteria, 47's naturalization would be revoked in a heartbeat.
The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.
Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".
Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.

These effects are not undesired. They are the intent. Trurnp's immigration policies, designed by Stephen Miller (aka. young Monte Burns), are meant to punish areas of the nation that didn't support American fascism. Abuse of power for personal revenge is a cornerstone of Trurnp 2.0 and The Party.
