Perhaps the best way of thinking about the current regime is as the last gasp of white supremacist patriarchy before it gets drowned by irreversible and unstoppable demographic change
Why are white people so afraid of becoming a minority?
Does America treat minorities badly or something?

Sadly none of this is much of a surprise. There are uncountable instances of similarly abusive people who are charismatic and emotionally/sexually abusive. The only difference is that Gaiman is famous and his works are beloved.

The more I read about Brian Thompson and United healthcare, the less and less sympathetic I am. Appalling doesn’t even come close to describing the practices he encouraged and by denying care for patients his company was responsible for 1000’s of needless deaths.
