The commission existed far longer and especially these policy decisions by UvdL and in general these surveillance ambitions. These lies were very well established long before any Trump. He is just the exaggerated parody of it. Also a reason why his followers don't care about when he lies. It is business as usual in politics and especially around security legislation.

I would hardly call this trumpficication. That is reading left/right politics on people's deamand for action on a complex issue to something irrelevent.

The closest you can even make a comparator here is that it's a loss of freedom from the whole vs from a very large "minority". Please don't view all politics through the same lense or else you end up worse than those you seek to condemn.

This is more akin to the fact that US military police the bases in the UK for internet tapping and UK military in the US to justify that we're both spying on each-others citizens which makes it "OK".

> trumpification (i.e. lies upon lies and speaking as if you have a significant mental problem)

Why use both the term and explanation for it? Either the reader knows the term and has to skip the explanation, or skip the term and read just the explanation. When in doubt, using just the longer expression avoids useless noise
