    “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.

    “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.

      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? 🤣🤣
