Track whether 'invasion' rhetoric from Cabinet officials precedes actual immigration enforcement actions or remains purely rhetorical—this reveals whether it's strategic distraction or policy signaling.
This is classic distraction rhetoric: a Cabinet secretary using inflammatory 'invasion' language at a solemn D-Day ceremony generates outrage and media coverage while accomplishing no governance action. The A-score is minimal (9) because this is pure norm erosion with no institutional mechanism—just words that temporarily inflame but create no structural damage. The B-score is high (59) due to extreme outrage-bait value, media-friendliness, and pattern-match to established playbook, occurring during a week with actual policy actions (SNAP ruling, DOJ investigations) that received less attention.
