    Come on, team Trump. If you don’t at least allow basic human rights the dems are going to pitch a fit

    Cruelty is the whole point, though. Trump won't lose sight of that. It's what he lives for.

    Hard to convince people to accept slavery if these places are "too nice"

    The scary part is the admin is pushing for every state to adopt a similar system and are willing to pay for it. Governors are running to the idea. You'll soon have alligator Alcatraz in every state.

    Hopefully Americans wake up before its too late....

    Sometimes people just want to be told it is okay to be nasty, sexist, racist, classist or any other "ist" that makes them feel superior.

    Yale University psychology professor Paul Bloom describes cruelty as even worse than dehumanization. Dehumanization is what enables soldiers to enter into battle and kill without moral paralysis. By contrast, Bloom writes, “Cruelty is when you act fully aware of the humanity of the persons you are mistreating or humiliating. In fact, that’s the whole point.”
