Posts are claiming the Trump administration has taken the United States back to 1936, saying that killing has again become a public spectacle. The remark appears tied to criticism of the administration's policies on executions and violence, with posters using phrases like 'the cruelty is the point' and accusing it of fascist tendencies. No official action matching the claim has been confirmed.
Why now: Critics are reacting to Trump administration policies they see as normalising public violence or executions.
