    There is a pervasive ideal in this country that has been a core part of it since the Pilgrims landed: Puritanical Ethics of “punishment is Divine, to suffer is to be Holy”

    Something is wrong? Punish the wrongness until it becomes righteous. If it doesn’t work then punish harder.

    It’s how this country has always solved its problems. Label the other as wicked then beat them into submission.
