Are we not currently in an era of mass incarceration? It looks like currently the US is 6th in the world for incarceration rate and 1st in the world for total number of prisoners.

Wait until the second Trump administration announces that if you're Latino, you go to prison if you're detained without your papers and if you're queer, well, that's just prison.

Yes, and it will get worse
I believe the response is in the territory of just because it's bad now doesn't mean it won't get so much worse.
I mean, I'm amazed we're not 1st in incarceration... and Project 2025 thinks that's losers numbers.
Yes you are, and it is very convenient for the DNC that they can blame it on Trump, while taking bribes from private prison companies too. It is still the same cabal like around Bill Clinton who passed mandatory minimums for drug possession.
