Yeah, I wasnt comparing a single admin to another for scope. My main point was that thinking only one party does these things isn't representative of the situation. A big problem is that virtually every prior administration did one or more things similar which set a precedent. And it was usually done in an low key way. Now this administration is doing them all at the same time and loudly. So I do believe the scale now is larger than in most prior admins, and that they aren't trying to hid what they are doing too.
