I find it's more about harming others than helping their own with the new administration, it's very much delighting in the pain of others rather than pursuing a better future or more sane politics.
- UncleMeat 2y agoAbsolutely. You don't send administration leaders for photo ops in front of prisoners or share AI images of people crying as they are arrested unless glee at the suffering of others is part of the point. At least with Abu Ghraib the message from leadership was that it was rogue individuals doing bad things. Whether this was actually true is another question, but at least the Bush admin felt it was important to say "this behavior is wrong." Now we've got messaging from the administration saying "look at how much pain we can inflict."
