i just want to clarify, though, that if this is a psy-op then the underlying appeal to white racism is a means, rather than an end. what they want is unity. the point is to provide a disincentive against being a trump detractor; the groupthink implies that opposition to trump is equivalent to support for torture. that's meant to keep people in line. the fact that this is specious is actually an asset, because humans are broadly specious creatures.
