My answer is they slowed down a bit to get people used to what they are doing before ramping it back up. It’s about getting people used to it and complying. You don’t realize then how far down the road to fascism until it’s too late.

Okay, *but*, I don't think they actually slowed down. That's my point.

It’s going by news articles it seems so court rules Trump overstepped authority in firing this person would equate to a slow down. It will rise again when headline says Trump refuses to reinstate this person. It’s all subjective.

That doesn't work when the news can't keep up with the events, which is what's happening right now.

In some cases I think the news is afraid to keep up. Just pointing out from my perspective that scale seems to be following news cycles not what’s happening.
