Why can’t US media just say something is happening? It’s always an alarm being raised or a “first step towards” or whatever else and never “we are here and have been here for a while and here’s more about it.”

ICE could show up with actual Gestapo uniforms and they could hang swastikas from the White House and that fucking country would go “oh no, we’re really teetering at the top of a slippery slope!”
