    This is the power of fascist movements. Everyone outside the movement is enemy and deserves no regard. It’s about loyalty in accordance to dominance hierarchy. That is to say, the lower ranks are loyal to the upper ranks, though not vice versa.

    Eventually everyone in the lower ranks ends up on the undesirables list and packed onto the cattle trains by enforcers from the next tier. The enemy from within narrative helps keep the lower ranks from questioning the cause.

    Overturning precedent in itself is not bad, segregation was court precedent in the past for example. The difference is that the current court leans conservative. Whether the court system should have that power at all is a different question.
