Sometimes I see people act like Trump and this wave of internet-brained far right nutjobs was a complete surprise, that it came out of nowhere.

But. We've been acting like prison rape is somehow a just punishment for longer than I've been alive. And we have the highest rates of incarceration per capita in the whole world. The US has been on this trajectory for a long time. Trump is just that same trend but more brazen and more shameless about what it does.
