      I always get mildly annoyed when people overthink MAGAGOP’s actions. Yes, they have a plan, but it’s a very simple plan: do your billionaire buddies’ bidding, shovel as much cash for yourself as you can. The strategy: throw as much shit at the wall as you can, hope some of it sticks.

      Law and Order? Ethics? 🤣🤣

    “Law and Order” has always been a racist dog-whistle in US politics. It is code for mass incarceration of Black and Brown people. Just colorful language to mask fascism.

    “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

    It was never about law and order. It has always been about oppression.

    Just keep that in mind when they come for your taxes and student loan payments. All that matters is holding power, and the common citizen can certainly hold enough power to keep the police away, very easily as the cops have shown in the past.
