Last week was tough for me. The family beach house (my wife's side) had a couple very empowered feeling Trumpsters in it.
One of them was talking about how great his recent stint of grand jury duty was because he realized the small Northern city he lives in effectively has cameras everyone, so almost every crime that came before them had tape. My wife brought up the social credit policy and monitoring and he thought it was a truly wonderful thing, and that every "ghetto" (apparently Trumpsters use the word ghetto again, truly bringing back the 60s) should be so monitored.
Of course, he didn't think it was needed in his suburb.
