Yes, that's also the whole point of much of the American project.
However, there's currently a veneer of "law and order" credibility that an unfortunate number of morons buy into. This sort of thing contradicts that narrative.
It really is interesting to see how people keep drawing lines around the "acceptable" and "unacceptable" amount of fascism in the US when like, that's the entire point of the whole fuckin country. Why is the veneer here and not in like, the 70s or 2002?
