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?"
The US press do not want to say that Trump is bad, that therefore the Republicans are bad, that therefore the political party that protects white folk from the influence & power of BIPOC is bad. Not unless enough white supremacists who voted Trump into power claim he's now bad, which they won't.
