This is going to get worse, not better. Never underestimate the American public’s thirst for performative cruelty towards The Other: defendants, foreigners, anyone they’ve been conditioned to see as less than human. We’re the country that made lynchings into picnics.

Yes, in many ways it is exactly the kind of mental attitude that produced picnic lynchings. The only good I can see from all of this is it brings this type of thinking and behavior back to the forefront where everyone can see it. We have some really awful people in our country and the country needs to decide what to do about that.
