Not entirely an answer, but the judiciary is being somewhat existentially threatened by the effective. "They" are referring to Tesla vandalism as domestic terrorism (it's criminal vandalism and seriously generous, yes, but if setting a car on fire is domestic terrorism then lots of countries have more terrorists than they thought). "They" are black-bagging students who dare to suggest that maybe Israel shouldn't bomb Gaza so much. "They" refer to any difference of opinion as activism from radical lefty loonies. Fear is being sown in the general populace. But the rowdy Town Halls around the country are great signs of hope and resistance. The tepid ones are the spineless Republican representatives being actively derelict in their duty to their country, still attempting to defend Trump and Elon despite their legitimately worried and angry constituencies.
