"Defining deviancy down"
The societal process of lowering the standards for what is considered deviant or unacceptable behavior
Politicians may try to downplay the significance of certain deviant behaviors committed by their own party or supporters to avoid political fallout
Just for the record. Let's not pretend that what happened on January 6th at the Capitol was anything less than a brutal riot by an angry mob, stoked up on Charles Manson (brain washing) like rhetoric (on police officers).
The pardoning of these criminals on day one of Trump's presidency showed us everything we needed to know about this illegitimate president and what's to come.
What we are witnessing is a dictatorship in the making.
There is, and will be no law and order until he is gone.

Imagine not being able to stop attacking other Americans for even one day to celebrate America’s 250th
The worst president in American history. By far.
On July 4th, remember this:
ICE is one of the most unconstitutional, anti-American forces to operate in the USA in our lifetime.
We built https://t.co/du9bv2U4pY to help people fight back lawfully, constitutionally, and without panic: https://t.co/Txyhf9LSil
Help us get it into the hands of every immigrant, every ally, and every real patriot who understands that questioning your leaders is one of the most patriotic things you can do.
DOGE deletes itself on July 4th. It will be remembered as a hugely destructive failure.
Musk promised $2 trillion in savings.
What we got, by DOGE’s own unverified math, was $215 billion. Even that number was never proven.
The costs were atrocious. Nearly 140,000 federal workers pushed out. Veterans waiting longer for care. USAID dismantled while people died overseas as a direct result. 20-year-olds with Red Bulls and no college degrees rummaging through Americans’ most sensitive data.
Musk, the world’s richest man, a federal contractor with billions in government business, auditing the government that pays him, accountable to no voter anywhere.
Even Musk now says he wouldn’t do it again. The guy who ran it calls it a mistake.
Government reform was there for the taking. Both parties know federal technology is outdated. Both parties know waste exists. Fixing it required serious people working with career civil servants who know where the problems actually are. Instead we got a chainsaw, a photo op, and years of lost expertise we now have to rebuild.
Now Trump’s budget director says there will be no final accounting or receipts. They promised transparency and they’re closing up shop in the dark.
They’re counting on us all to forget.
