Saw someone talking about the "dual State" in Nazi Germany (the two different experiences of "business as usual" government for some people while others were targets of extreme state violence), & she posited that this is the situation in "Trump's America."
To which I say, yes, BUT it has *always* been a reality in the United States. Frankly, it's probably one of those things they got from us & not the other way around.
What privileged white folks think of as "normal" is anything but.
