ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.” it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.

A big part of the current right wing belief system is that everyone is actually just as bigoted as they are, and are only pretending not to be as a public performance ("virtue signalling"). They genuinely thought once they started doing open racism, everyone would join in

I've seen the argument that since that's supposedly how prisons work (everyone is forced to join a racial gang for mutual protection), that is somehow the natural and proper state for normal society as well. Wish I could find it, it was a great example of diseased thinking.
