Not to continue to do this Cassandra bullshit, but here is a clip from two years ago that outlines exactly the playbook in this moment: a government and private law enforcement army run entirely on grievance, culture war slop, and weaponizable data points, deployed against boogeymen, absent facts.

The Confederates always used "state's rights" when it was convenient and the feds to control the states when it wasn't.
We are still fighting the confederates...they weren't punished well enough and they never went away.

Donald Trump is trying to rig the next election.
He told Republicans to redraw the political maps in Texas to give himself 5 more seats and protect his majority in Congress.
This is the rot at the core of our broken political system.
