The American press and public really need to figure out how to simply dismiss Trump's pretextual claims for authoritarian attacks and then resist the attack itself, not debate the claim. We have spent months asking "but is the Ivy League really antisemitic?" and now "but is DC really crime-ridden?"

Yes--I trust it's clear no shade was intended with the comparison. This is pretty clearly very useful stuff but will need oversight. Don't mind me, as I've spent part of my day watching Abbott and Costello.
