They have always wanted rich, straight and right-wing christian white men on top, and everyone else to be slaves to them. Anyone who "forgot their place" would be punished, up to and including "reeducation" (slave/concentration) camps. Those who dared to get uppity with their masters? Summary execution.

They may have couched it in dog whistles in the past, but it was easy to follow all of their traitorous blathering to that logical conclusion.
