Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

Large numbers of dedicated Squealers continue to explain why economic inequality is a good thing. Gradually the abjectly poor believe it and vote for the party that makes their abject poverty a permanent condition!
GUARDIAN: “Per head, 🇺🇸 output is six times China’s, and yet, inexplicably, there seem to be more abjectly poor Americans than Chinese. 🇺🇸 inequality is breathtaking… keeps getting worse…”
Wanting to address this isn’t radical.
NOT wanting to is.
