Ah, man.

Arendt has talked about fascist governments making citizenship a kind of right they can give to only certain people before they go for some full-on ethnic cleansing (or worse, of course). So the moves in the Trump admin for the latest seem in line with that kind of attitude. Of course this is a range, but one must be wary of these ranges (especially given the attitude of the worst of the right wingers in our country). Sure they won't be Nazis per say, but a Bible (whether held by someone who bangs out porn stars or otherwise doesn't matter either) doesn't make people better. It's that tidy-mindedness that matters.
