      in 2016 we were at stage 1. back then, Trump wouldn’t dare have said “immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country” - that wouldn’t have had a good reception back then. too on the nose. but you start with more subtle things and slowly you shift the overton window of what is and isn’t socially acceptable

      it’s a treadmill and we’re jogging
