Our national policy is deliberate cruelty to refugees. There's a part of me that believes, or wants desperately to believe, that if enough of us will just understand this, it will stop. But part of me fears this is exactly what many of us want.

Part of me believes it's desperately important to discover and document exactly who those "many of us" are and destroy their livelihoods and capability to influence the future.

When this is over, we should have a sort or reconciliation/reconstruction at a fundamental, constitutional level whereby the people who made it happen and urged it on are not treated with cruelty, but unable to vote, hold government or private management positions, etc.

Hardly. The people targeted by McCarthyism were not guilty of unleashing nazism & the early stages of genocide.

I'm all for stigmatizing the Stephen Millers and Milo Yiannopouloses of the world, but there's an overwhelming majority of casual racists that enabled this whole thing to happen. That has to be combatted by changing attitudes, not punishment.

That's why I said cutting off their lines of influence over the future rather than cruelty against them.

I'd even fucking gladly pay exorbitant taxes to keep them home, out of public sphere, and content until they die off.
