I mean, it's not exactly hidden. Republicans have been foaming at the mouth to bring the death penalty back in full force for decades now and the Trump administration did go on an executing spree on their way out last time.
My point was that the original title was pure lib clickbait. "They might be coming for you!"
There's likely no more soft landing for the US, Trump will do the thing P2025 is pushing, executing all the federal death row inmates, to normalize it, and expand sex crimes against children to include public appearances of drag queens and such. Probably his or a future admin will really push prison on the unhoused, climate/drug war refugees, and certain gender/political minorities (for the free labor to prop up other stuff).
It's all very predictable and another 4 years of Biden won't prevent these things happening, just prolong them and probably make it worse somehow by bottling it up for longer.
it would likely manufacture consent for these things happening much like it has manufactured consent for libs to want stricter border laws and mass surveillance.
