Stephen Miller is to blame for the evil ICE is doing. Trump is to blame for listening to Miller. The Republican party is to blame for supporting Trump. MAGA voters are to blame for re-electing Trump. There's enough blame for all of them to share.

Lately I've been thinking about how two 90's era sci-fi properties (The Matrix and Star Trek: Voyager) made the point that the turn of the century was "peak" human civilization, in some ways.
I think they might have been right.
