We Have Seen That MAGA Boy's Face Before: Top of Our Hierarchies is Consistent

In her article, "The MAGA Teenager Who Harassed a Native American Veteran Is Still Unnamed, but We've See His Face Before," Ruth Graham states that, "Many observers recognized this face right away...A clutch of white young men crowding around a single black man at a lunch counter sit-in in Virginia in the 1960s...That face is the rows of Wisconsin high school boys flashing Nazi salutes... Brett Kavanaugh holding down Christine Blasey Ford...The face knows that no matter how you react, it wins."

The top of our hierarchies, if nothing else, is consistent.
