Cruelty is perhaps the most significant reason for the actions of this administration and the president. I’d add greed. I’d add that it’s a power trip. I’d add bullying. I’d add complete lack of character. Power trip? Fear of retribution by Trump himself if you don’t follow along? And it’s also about lying, a key character trait of Donald Trump.

It's about psychologically beating people into submission. Eventually once you've been tortured enough you give in to the torturer. We have a couple of options here. We can give up and surrender to the fascists. Or we can fight back. Submission is not an option.
