The Ku Klux Klan Acts (passed in 1870 & 1871 to protect 14th amend rights) were particularly focused on masked gunmen who violated the civil rights of Black people. We should remember this history when masked law enforcement ofcrs are deployed in our communities.

Think the peons of idiocracy have something going for them that the rest of us don't. It's this preternatural level of certainty they have about the righteousness of their business. It imparts this forceful conviction free from any circumscribable doubt.
