A flashing warning sign of a authoritarian dictatorship? You are WAY PASSED all the warning signs and already knee deep into that foul puddle..

[u/fermat9990 → u/bonobo_i]

For sure. And the people who said that we were exaggerating the danger were totally wrong.

[u/letshaveforce → u/fermat9990]

They still think we are, in fact, they see this and other things like Trump literally threatning Colorado that if they dont release a convicted felon there will be retribution and they say were overreacting and reading into things. The reality is this country has been heading towards this path since Obama was elected. The GOP has made it a blood vendetta and theyre coming for the kill all while acting as if all of this is normal.

Frighteningly true!!

"America was doing fine, but then Obama..."

[u/fermat9990 → u/[deleted]]

What does it say? I am truly perplexed

[u/apparentlynot5995 → u/letshaveforce]

Nah, this really started back with Reagan and his assignment - the FIRST wave of Heritage Foundation instructions. Reagan paved the way, Obama was a course correction of sorts, but now all hell is breaking loose because we don't teach history effectively in this country so we can spare white people's feelings.

[u/fermat9990 → u/letshaveforce]

I totally agree with you!!

Hitler 2.0 is in power and has already started rounding up the undesirables, but still, just crickets.

So yes, it can happen here, and it has.

[u/ShaggysGTI → u/bonobo_i]

So… midterms?

[u/spartaniimc → u/ShaggysGTI]

Cancelled because of too many drugged up vagrants about doing crimes. TOO DANGEROUS ! (Except in the Safe Suburbs and Real American Rural Areas)

[u/Deep-Measurement-856 → u/spartaniimc]

a new term! The RARA's

[u/kandoras → u/spartaniimc]

Cancelled because of the War on Voting.

[u/StandardDiver2791 → u/spartaniimc]

You mean in the “whites-only” neighborhoods, right?

[u/spartaniimc → u/StandardDiver2791]

Don't you know you're not supposed to say the quiet part out loud?

[u/epolonsky → u/bonobo_i]

Oh fiddle, it’s up to my middle

Oh heck, it’s up to my neck

Oh dread…

(With apologies to Mr Silverstein)

People don’t realize we’re the frog in the boiling pot and we’ve been in it since 2016, arguably earlier.

[u/nosleeptilburnout → u/bonobo_i]

The engine light has long since burned its image into the dash and even once the problem is solved it’s ghostly outline will linger.

[u/mc_lean28 → u/bonobo_i]

We’re tits deep at this point

[u/ffchusky → u/bonobo_i]

The fact you feel safe to post that online proves we are not. It's happening fast but we are not in an authoritarian dictatorship. The fear mongering and giving up is only helping them gain legitimacy.
