Immigration office told my wife not to worry, not to believe what she sees in the news. And I think that was a sincere effort to calm her fears, not party-line bullshit.
No, it's not so bad now, worse than most have seen in recent American history, but not yet Nazi bad. OTOH, I took two years of advanced European history in high school, I see where this is going, couldn't be more plain. Wish I could find that X post where a holocaust scholar said we are already several steps along the way.
