      The most incarcerated country on earth, shoving millions of people, mostly poor and people of color, into prison day after day, year after year, while wealthy and connected people are out just breaking the law, day after day, year after year with no penalty.

      Said it before: Frank Wilhoit: “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition …There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

          That's a perfect proposition -- and it encompasses all the folks who want to be Repubs, rich/poor -- everyone wants to be in that in-group. An example of this is Trump telling people they're in the "super-elite" group.

          You've quoted this before, but why would conservatism necessitate (rather than merely tolerate) the existence of an outgroup within its jurisdiction?
