Bush normalized invading other countries. Obama normalized mercenaries, drone murders and “migrant holding facilities”. Trump normalized wanton state cruelty using these tools. Biden normalized supporting Gazan genocide and sending riot cop to beat down dissenters. Now Trump 2 is building on those powers and practices to dissappear people into camps.
The history of presidential power is just another part of the history of class warfare and empire. These actions, from dem to repub and back again make no sense if you look at them as aberrations or coincidences, or think for five seconds about the excuses used to justify them. But they make perfect sense if you view them as a series of consistently increasing escalations against the threat of liberation movements at home and abroad.
