When I saw the footage of the unfortunate people bent over and forced to march in a neat line across the tarmack, I felt sick to my stomach, angry for their gross mistreatment, and it struck a deep viceral fear that that could happen to me and my loved ones! Sort of the reaction it was calculated to make, except it was intended for, on top of the immense fear, I was supposed to slather a thick layer of hate on top of that fear, which had the opposite reaction of anger .... because I am compassionate, unlike Elon-Felon and their degenerate minions.
