Before putting Hobbes under your pillow I would suggest reading Arendt's work on the Totalitarian state. His place at the roots (whether innately or not) is an interesting idea and her work on sovereignty is compelling.
There are millions of non-violent offenders in cages in the US. Sessions wants to turn back from the trajectory that was making some headway against indiscriminate sentencing and vicious application of the law. Of course you don't find him dangerous. That is how the tough on crime propaganda works. It turns itself from the actual threat that it is into a sense of security.
