For me it began w McConnell denying Obama his SCOTUS seat and Obama taking the high road aka doing nothing in response. It showed the country that republicans could break rules and laws hundreds of years old and nobody would stop them.

“Secret police” are your words, not mine. Seems like you’ve been giving them a lot of thought.
Unlike NYPD, your agents don’t identify themselves & wear masks that cover their faces. Now they ignore judges’ rulings, too.
What law enforcement agents are supposed to uphold … is the rule of law.

What’s the name of the emotion where you feel a sort of existential dread and general malaise because why aspire when the world is on fire, your efforts go unacknowledged, you don’t feel like you belong, nothing you’ve done seems to have the impact you wanted, and so doing anything new seems futile?

So it's bad to be forced to wear masks if you don't want to even if it helps stop the spread of illness TO OTHERS. If you do, you can be arrested. (Some states have laws FORBIDDING them in public. )BUT, if you're ICE, or just cosplaying one in public, you should NOT be punished for wearing a mask.
An L.A. activist who handed out protective masks to protesters during anti-ICE demonstrations last month has been indicted on federal counts of conspiracy and aiding civil unrest. My latest: www.latimes.com/california/s...

The idea that the progressive left used the internet to bully institutions into accepting unpopular, far-left positions is the exact opposite of what has actually happened. The alt-right used the internet for ideological capture and they are now in the White House bragging about it daily

I could be wrong about this but I really think most Americans do not want to be forced to “do their own research” about food & drug & product safety and would rather that the government agencies that have been sorting that all out for them for decades not be obliterated in the name of “efficiency.”
