That is why they like Trump, he is a sick f**k and tries to carry out similar acts of humiliation and punishment.

This kind of behavior happened in the US during and after WWI. Jingoistic attacks, humiliation and punishment. German Americans and anyone who was suspicious, anyone who did not believe in the war, or just didn't buy enough war bonds to suit the locals.

Ditto, during the American Revolution with Loyalists. Murdered, tarred and feathered.
