I wonder: Is it because contemporary Republicans don’t know anything about the history of Nazi concentration camps that they are so eager for photo ops in front of cages, and that thus they just don’t understand how foolish it is to strut their depravity for the historical record? Or is it something like the opposite, that they are truly proud to be what they are?
They own it now. They own everything that ever happens in these places. The fools who voted for them own it, too.
Often it’s impossible to get public domain photos for current events. For Trump’s visit to “Alligator Alcatraz,” though, dozens of official White House photos were uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. The Trump regime, clearly, wants the photos to be seen by as many people as possible.
I find that I just cannot comprehend how people like this think. And I’m afraid we’re going to learn much more about what this kind of people are capable of.

I hate the feeling of helplessness of knowing that none of this that he’s doing or that Republicans are doing is necessary. It’s extremely aggravating. They faked being upset over pandemic procedures, Hunter Biden’s laptop, and “Bidenflation” for four years, and once they’re back in power, this is the kind of stuff that they do. I still think about that picture from Time magazine from seven or eight years ago of that little Latina girl crying for her family. She looked so much like my daughter did at that age. They’re truly monsters, sociopaths, evil people.
Hi Dan: I’ve written here before about the strange inability of the right-wing psyche to judge character. Millions of Trumpists are able to look at photos like this and still see Trump as on a mission from God.
