A clip from last week’s episode of Showtime’s The Circus is making the rounds and it features a “Build The Wall” rally held by decaying racist Steve Bannon in Cincinnati, OH. In the clip, a woman who seems very angry about all the “winning” Trump’s been doing steps up to the microphone to tell us how she really feels.

At a Build the Wall Town Meeting in Cincinnati, Ohio with Steve Bannon. I can’t, well I can believe she just said this:”Never in my life did I think that I’d like to see a dictator but if there’s gonna be one I want it to be Trump”-angry lady #upsidedownworld #TheCircus pic.twitter.com/Z4CAcbtXk2 — Tanya???‍???

“I am so upset that we’ve got so much trash that is supposedly representing us in Washington,” the woman says. “Never in my life did I think I’d like to see a dictator, but if there’s going to be one, I want it to be Trump!”

And that’s when the audience—and a serenely smiling Steve Bannon—applaud and cheer.

YIKES.

People are, understandably, somewhat unsettled.

MAGA is a cult and they should be mocked accordingly. https://t.co/nxE9fWV7hP — Marie Connor (@thistallawkgirl) March 19, 2019

The @realDonaldTrump @GOP has already embraced racism/white supremacy, nationalism, voter suppression/fraud, immortality, unethical conduct/grifting, habitual lying, suppression of dissent, punishing poor/enriching rich, empowering hostile governments ... and now totalitarianism. https://t.co/sPF8CUipyb — Col.

While there’s no way to say for sure that this woman watches Fox News, this woman definitely watches Fox News. And honestly it wouldn’t matter if she didn’t. Thanks to social media, the dull thud of the right-wing media echo chamber reverberates throughout the electorate. It radicalizes the fringes, drags the center of the debate rightward, and even those who consume little to no political media end up feeling the effects. It’s like a kind of herd immunity, but for the truth instead of measles.

In other authoritarian news, the Supreme Court voted 5-4 to allow ICE to detain unauthorized immigrants “indefinitely.”

NEW: Supreme Court, split 5-4, endorses government ability to detain immigrants awaiting deportation potentially years after they have completed prison terms for criminal convictions — Lawrence Hurley (@lawrencehurley) March 19, 2019

ICE already has a history of abusing and overstepping their authority, this just gives them license to go further. And, as a reminder, that fifth vote is the Supreme Court seat Mitch McConnell stole from President Obama.

All very cool normal stuff and not at all alarming!
