Track whether 'ominous campaign' rhetoric translates into concrete policy changes (Schedule F reinstatement, loyalty tests, mass firings) within 30 days - distinguish atmospheric threat from actual institutional capture.
This scores as atmospheric threat-building (B=44) rather than concrete governance harm (A=20). The 'ominous' framing lacks specific institutional mechanisms - it's norm erosion only, not policy change. However, it occurs alongside actual civil service attacks this week (8,000 workers stripped of protections, mass lawyer exodus), suggesting it may be amplifying real actions through threatening rhetoric. The high media-friendliness and outrage-bait scores reflect vague menace that's easy to cover but hard to act on.
