I “like” how Overton window (??? I hope I use it right) shifted dramatically in USA.

- “law and order” is “good”, when _de facto_ most of constitution is not being applied for a year and laws or court orders are applied selectively. Not to say that “law and order” is vastly different depending on the size of your bank account;

- “terrorist” now is anything you don’t like, especially if it’s anti establishment. True freedom of speech is now apparently “violence” (and of course this dictatorial (adjacent) government would think that, as it’s biggest danger);

- “antifa” is apparently now a boogeyman, though I’d say he used it correctly as he is (apparently) fascist;

Also it is forced against people, how population can choose otherwise?

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition...There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
