A pattern repeated throughout history in every empire.
The conservative mind is primed for fascism because of their strong attachment to hierarchy and status.
Men > women
White people > minorities
Rich > poor
and so on. As long as they believe they get to oppress people who are lower status, they’ll gladly be oppressed.
This is how Trump wins.

Amy Klobuchar: "There are now more ICE agents in Minnesota than there are police officers combined in Minneapolis and St. Paul. So they are outnumbering our own local police officers out on the streets."

As much as I hate CC companies’ predatory policies, I am in fact outraged by this because whether I “like” the outcome or not, we have laws and rules in our government and there are ways to do things that don’t just amount to POTUS acting on whims and without the power of legislation.
I'm sure that liberals will find a way to be outraged by this.

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

And his choice of what to fund is not education. Not healthcare. Not roads. Not scientific research. Not the environment. Not housing. Not food safety. Not water conservation. Not alternative energy.
