"intentionally malevolent" -> Stephen Miller's second name. The cruelty is and always was the point.
I thought his second name was Goebbles?
Yup, he's not minced words in all the interviews he's done and he's happy to label US citizens "terrorists" if he thinks they're in his way or 'race traitors'.
All because he was a massive loser in middle/high school, and like most bigots, his hatred is rooted in needing to have someone "beneath" him. So he based his entire personality and life around hating anyone not straight, white, male, and "American" so he could feel better about himself.
It is amazing how many people have been killed from all the policies he's been ramming through, simply because of a huge inferiority complex.
It's also a bit sad how every generation of immigrants turn around and pull the ladder up behind them.
You should double check Project 2025 before solely blaming Miller.
This is true. I resisted this conclusion for a long time, imagining it was tendentious, but there is really no other way to understand his rhetoric and his actions.
