rsokolovPedro L. Gonzalez (колумнист): Watching mass self-induced psychosis unfold on my timeline as the biggest names on the new right convince themselves and their followers that some liberal white mom was like an ISIS domestic terrorist while the rest of the country looks on in confusion
Joe Walsh (бывший конгрессмен): I come from the Tea Party. Trump is the very tyrant the Tea Party always said they feared. Now they embrace the tyrant. ICE, these armed/masked federal agents, are the very “jack-booted thugs” the Tea Party always said they despised. Now they applaud the jack-booted thugs.
(Потому что, как учил Карл Шмидт, когда нас топчут сапогами — это плохо, когда мы топчем сапогами — это хорошо.)
Olivia Troye (бывшая советница Пенса):
...[O]nce federal agencies start redefining terrorism to excuse their own behavior, the guardrails are gone. Everything becomes a threat. Everyone becomes a suspect. Every use of force becomes "defensive," no matter what the video shows, no matter what witnesses say, no matter what common sense tells us.
ICE is no longer operating like a normal law-enforcement agency. It is operating like a federal occupying force. Showing up in armored vehicles, refusing coordination with local authorities, flooding cities with agents, escalating confrontations, and then acting shocked when chaos follows.
As a former White House Homeland Security and Counterterrorism advisor, I warned for years that blurring the line between immigration enforcement and national security would have consequences. This is one of them. When you tell armed federal personnel that they are fighting "terrorists" instead of enforcing civil immigration law, you prime them to see lethal threats everywhere. You lower the bar for pulling the trigger. You create a culture where escalation is expected, not avoided.
And then someone dies.
