Yeah, that's definitely an image it conjures.

Post-Trump, Democrats push to curb presidential powers
Thank you! So much work needs to be done in order to inoculate our democracy from the next wanna be dictator.
Though I’m guess that only a fraction of this proposal (if any) will actually make it past Republicans in the House who seem to be anxiously awaiting the next right wing strongman who will declare himself god-king.
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
So, the House just passed stopgap legislation to keep the Government open, but apparently the Republican's in the Senate are threatening to block it because... reasons
Because government shutdowns always work in the Republican's favor.
Huge hack reveals embarrassing details of who’s behind Proud Boys and other far-right websites
Epik long has been the favorite Internet company of the far-right, providing domain services to QAnon theorists, Proud Boys and other instigators of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol — allowing them to broadcast hateful messages from behind a veil of anonymity.
But that veil abruptly vanished last week when a huge breach by the hacker group Anonymous dumped into public view more than 150 gigabytes of previously private data — including user names, passwords and other identifying information of Epik’s customers.
Extremism researchers and political opponents have treated the leak as a Rosetta Stone to the far-right, helping them to decode who has been doing what with whom over several years. Initial revelations have spilled out steadily across Twitter since news of the hack broke last week, often under the hashtag #epikfail, but those studying the material say they will need months and perhaps years to dig through all of it.It’s massive. It may be the biggest domain-style leak I’ve seen and, as an extremism researcher, it’s certainly the most interesting,” said Megan Squire, a computer science professor at Elon University who studies right-wing extremism. “It’s an embarrassment of riches — stress on the embarrassment.”
Epik, based in the Seattle suburb of Sammamish, has made its name in the Internet world by providing critical Web services to sites that have run afoul of other companies’ policies against hate speech, misinformation and advocating violence. Its client list is a roll-call of sites known for permitting extreme posts and that have been rejected by other companies for their failure to moderate what their users post.

Eclectic Connoisseur of all things written, drawn, or imaginatively created.
You saw the same thing when that kid took a gun across his state's border to a neighboring one to shoot people. They like to say he was "protecting property" (that wasn't his to protect, as he wasn't a resident of the state again let alone owner of property in the city), but really he was living out the masturbation fantasy of all these white supremacists. Getting to use their fetishized weapons that, as Obama famously made the mistake of telling the truth about (though behind closed doors), they cling to in order to feel the power they obviously know they lack without them on another human being. Preferably ones darker than themselves.
These guys cosplaying cowboys or (in the fantasies of the white supremacists who will be proudly posting these images and out loud wishing they had been on horseback with them to "round 'em up") slave overseers will be sending thrills up the legs of the increasingly vocal white nationalist faction on the right for years to come. The only good thing about this movement is that it's now coming out into the open, where before people kept such feelings to themselves generally and allowed those of us on the left who would prefer to believe in the general decency of humanity to believe we were living in a more tolerant and less racist world. You can't solve a problem until you first acknowledge there is one, and now it's impossible to deny. So give Trump that at least. He saw these people, and he pandered but good. Now's the time to figure out what to do about it.
