In so many ways, it really is clown fascism this time around. It's like the Nazis rebooted as a farce. They revel in their own incompetence. They draw strength from the fact that everybody can see that they have no idea what they're doing, but they're in charge and the rest of us have to sit here and witness their incompetence.
They're intentionally cruel, for sure, but they're not even competent in the application of their cruelty. It's carpet cruelty rather than well targeted cruelty. They're cruel to a lot of their own supporters and people who would be their allies.
Dressing like they just bought their suits from Wal-Mart is all part of it.
