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?"
This speaks to the basic fallacy we operate under; people are acting out of good intentions. This is demonstrably not true in the case of this administration yet no one can adjust their behavior towards them.
