Nowadays, not so much "deceiving" going on but rather "believe me or your lying eyes" vibes coming from the government.

I actually miss the days when the US administration in charge at least tried to appear not to be corrupt and malicious.
Let's say--hypothetically--that the U.S. President walked out into Times Square in broad daylight and shot a person to death unprovoked. Who would prosecute that crime?
If you can't (or won't) be prosecuted, why hide your crime?
Zohran Mamdani (NYC mayor) would, but that's a very recent development somewhat exclusive to NYC.
Unfortunately, the brazen public crimes our president has been committing lately are much more high level. Thousands of innocent lives have been (and will be) ended, usually by much more dramatic and damaging means. The parts of our government that are responsible for prosecuting those crimes have decided to join in instead.
New York State, due to the fact that murder is generally a state level charge and not a federal one. However, your broader point still stands.

Well, in this hypothetical case one may say: Just go out there and shoot the bastard if he is not prosecuted!
Isn't that what you proud Americans have your guns for?
