prisons are run on the principle of collective punishment. when one inmate acts up, something gets taken away from, or done to, everyone in the housing unit, or in the whole facility. this farms out the violence necessary to keep order to the inmates. it's super effective.

hostile stereotypes of identity categories, like we'll have a huge rash of because there was an election, are attempts at collective punishment. they are demands that members of the category who are compliant with the speaker employ violence to "come get" the noncompliant ones.

if you don't get "your people" in line, the threat is, you should expect to be hurt because of your shared identity with them. you may ask yourself, when exactly did i wake up in prison? who put me there? who is keeping me there? these are excellent questions
