Here's the "challenge coin" that the federal government is handing out to employees who worked on the deportations and detentions around Minneapolis this winter

it is both predictable -- the sort of garish video-game conflict imagery in which Trump's administration revels -- and grotesque

for people who don't like being called "fascist", their imagery is almost risibly, squarely in that camp
