It comes from the aggressive cracker privilege of being able to treat the empire as a great spectacle where the most horrifying thing to ever happen is how Donald J. Trump used a butter knife the wrong way as he ordered the murder of non-whites across the globe.

Even if Trump actually gets sentenced and put behind bars, that will only further empower him
