I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

Nixon sabotaged peace talks with Vietnam and Reagan backchanneled to prevent Carter from getting the hostages in Tehran released. A long-standing Republican tradition of treason

the political influence of a random sample of American's has declined in the last 10yrs. Wealth distribution is wildly asymmetrical, SCOTUS has allowed POTUS to consolidate unseen amounts of power, A party attempted a coup, initiated a remapping arms race, and is actively tampering with voter rolls
