In fact it wasn't quiet, there was constant fanfare and ceremony. It's just historians can't pick out a particular red line moment because every week is a Watergate and that it all becomes the baseline of normalcy in Trump's post-truth era.

If we wanted to point to an official declaration of the police state wielded against perceived domestic enemies, that's NSPM-7.
