My takeaway from this is that laws and rules don't matter if the officials on the ground are incompetent, ignorant, and have contempt for you.

There is a lot of unnecessary cruelty and lack of due process in this story.

It's certainly gotten worse, which is why I hope people will vote in every election they can vote in.

> This incompetence has only happened since

Can we be sure? Do we have stats?

If you look at international press, horror stories happen everywhere, semi-certified (the press from Country C diffident against Country Y will publish if they have a warning piece). The issue is telling the exception from the norm and similar.

Yes, and exceptions from the norm get extra publicity when it fits a press narrative.

> But they were all perfectly competent and infallible under Biden.

It's clear that you're trying very hard to fabricate assertions and muddy the debate. If it helps clarify, until January 20th they were just as abusive and shitty, but with Trump imposing a political mandate to ramp up their abusive and shitty behavior then of course the abusive and shitty behavior will ramp up. Is there something specific that you don't understand?
