I really don't understand the cognitive dissonance that the "small government, anti-1984" conservative can handle. Between ICE just being allowed to kill and drag people off to concentration camps, and the support of The NSA, Flock, and Palantir and the rest of the extreme surveillance state the US has. They really are just focused on "It's good when we do it, but if I am a victim it is bad. This should be just used against brown people"

    Ironically i think the conservatives (fascists) and communists see more clearly here than liberals, who are caught in the contradiction of all that civic religion bullshit that just exists to obscure power relations. We can just say "it is in fact good when my faction has the power and bad when our enemies have it" and maybe I give them too much credit, but I assume right wingers just think the same, the difference being that they are wrong.
