Citizens had been cheering when the government over in El Salvador was rounding up all the gang members and just locked them up without due process.
Fascists are split between young American influenced ones who want freedom and hate the Online Safety Act, and racists who support anything as long as will make Muslims lives harder. The freedom loving ones are winning today so you see Green and Reform MPs standing together against the government.
Middle class professionals see Dubai, Singapore and China as good examples and don't mind losing freedom for safety.
