This is what was always especially egregious about Bush v, Gore -- not only did they invent a doctrine out of thin air to hand a presidential election to their preferred candidate, they explicitly refused to apply it to any other case (including the very election whose result they were upholding!)

"I voted for him because he would be good for my farm" is the public lie to cover for the fact that they love him for his hate and bigotry. Nothing matters more to Trump voters than that. They want to see the people they hate suffer and he delivers.

Just to be clear, SCOTUS demonstrated that it was an existential threat to constitutional democracy and the rule of law quite some time ago. The major change this week, with Caillou, is that a large bump in the number of Democratic officials willing to say it. Something I wrote back in 2022 👇

The cut to SSI for families who also rely on SNAP was not the Social Security Administration’s idea, even though that agency runs the SSI program. Instead, it was initiated by top White House and DOGE officials last year, ProPublica has learned.

What Trump is doing isn’t even about the harm and cruelty done to immigrants, it’s also about funneling huge sums of money to the worst people on the planet, thus crowning new permanent elites who love fascism and will use their wealth to escape accountability

this line from alito’s opinion, that the question before the court was “whether compliance with the Voting Rights Act should be added to our very short list of compelling interests that can justify racial discrimination,” is truly orwellian

Anyway, an important thing to realize is that right-wing nostalgia for Antebellum Plantation Life and tech guy fantasies about Explosive-Collar Apocalypse Bunkers are the same thing. A vision of an ideal society for sadists where they are granted unaccountable power over helpless people.

This isn't gestapo. They actually believed their hate. This is fascism-as-farce. (A minor detail: They stripped the man & drove him to a court in Greenbelt, MD, created during the New Deal as a kind of low-key utopian town planning project for low-income workers.)

This is one reason the various Trump voter focus groups are so incoherent. Their actual reasons for voting for him are so tied up in a resentment they won't articulate to themselves, not without letting more racism & sexism out than they're willing to do in a polite setting

I've done around 30 of these and this is the first one to really fuck me up. My guy got his removal order >20 years ago but couldn't be deported and has remained law-abiding ever. ICE already did their Gestapo act on him once and now they detained him again, this morning, without notice. Disgusting.
