    The top down cruelty is most likely an attempt to dehumanize these folks, probably because Americans are broadly fucking bizarre in that they will vote to fuck people over but would be willing to die for said people on a personal level. Dehumanizing folks is the best way to buffer that tendency from kicking in and causing trouble for them.
