Just look at the life of Steven Miller as documented in the book, Hatemonger, and you'll get an idea of just one example of exactly who we're dealing with here. These people are monsters.
You can look into the history of any one of these grifters, racists, antisemites, transphobes, homophobes, fascists, and it becomes very apparent that they hate everything and everyone around them, and in some cases even hate themselves. Heck, ICE is nothing but a cadre of misanthropic hatemongers all worked up into a frenzy probably due to an excess consumption of various legal/illegal stimulants along with Matt Walsh, Tucker Carlson, etc. being pumped into their eyes and ears all day and night.
If you think monsters would simply murder without doing the more than occasional bit of torture, then I'd simply invite you to think again.
Thanks for that book recc. I mean I agree. They want suffering more than anything else, that's just obvious to me.
