7. A curious statement by one of her supporters in town:

May 24

It was a man. He said 95% of the people in the restaurant where she worked were "supporters of Trump." "And I am too" the man said. "But this [the kidnapping without warrant or access to a lawyer] is wrong."

I am too? A supporter of Trump?

The guy evidently still supports the Leader even in the light of a woman beloved by the whole town is taken away in shackles for no god damned reason? A woman whose current work visa is good through 2026? Kidnapped and hustled out of town by goons from ICE? The same ICE that has been given free rein by Trump, who this guy still supports, to serve as police, judge, and jail warden -- all without warrants or even explanations to the victim's family? He still supports the man who did that to her?

It's not really necessary, is it, to say that the man in question is white and the woman being so horribly abused by Trump's goons is Chinese? So, while he sympathizes with the woman, he feels safely white, safe the same way millions of non-Jewish Germans felt in the '30s.
