To recap:

• The DOJ is pushed by alleged humans Donald Trump and Stephen Miller who are transparently irrationally racist and xenophobic to prosecute randos without due process or probable cause.
• Throne-sniffer Marco Rubio has a great idea to make prosecutions more cruel and simpler by ignoring the Constitution by the pretext of “Well, it’s fine if we kidnap and traffic them to El Salvador first.”
• They obviously make mistakes and deport people to El Salvador.
• Pam Bondi, Trump’s personal attorney who controls the DOJ, fires the attorney who has the temerity to admit the truth about one of these deportations in court, which by the way just fulfills the most basic ethical duty of being an attorney.
• She doubles down and claims hyperbolic criminal conduct with non-credible manufactured evidence to save face.
• The DOJ loses a Supreme Court ruling and again refuses to return him, hoping the public forgets.
• The public annoyingly doesn’t forget. Eventually, they decide its better optics to return him and prosecute him for their made-up crime.
• He returns, and is kept in jail by his own lawyers’ recommendation because the DOJ intends to immediately arrest and deport him to a country with even less transparency and respect for human rights.
• This is made public and apparently the DOJ backs off enough to allow him to return home, but then threatens permanent extraterritorial imprisonment in an even worse, more lawless way, to coerce a guilty plea so that they can say they were right all along.

This explains fascism in a nutshell. A handful of people arbitrarily wield the powers of the entire country to terrorize individuals because they are too developmentally stunted to even admit the possibility of their own fallibility, or self-reflect in any meaningful way, and the entire nation is bent to their unconscious id, causing abuse, death, and traumatic distress to countless people, all to avoid the chosen few having to experience even the barest psychological discomfort.

Some days I just don’t know how we’ll get through this.
