The thing is that fascists don’t let you use the democratic process to keep them out. They chip away at it by eroding trust in courts, the law, institutions - anyone but them. Then they use those incremental gains in power to chip more and more until they can fully co-opt power.
I guess what I’m saying is if telling our leaders doesn’t work, options are limited.
The longer people wait, the less options there are ... the longer people just don't say or protest or shout out in the streets, the less likely they will be allowed to later on.
There is no need to wait until things go so far that violence is the only choice ... the time to speak is now because if all this gets too carried away, at one point, no amount of speaking will matter any more. And the way things are progressing, everyone is waiting for the eventual end before they will actually say anything or protest anything or even speak up.
It's sad to watch because it is just history repeating ... everyone can see and understand it but no one seems to want to do anything about.
Oh, hold on. Let me go call Jim Jordan and tell him I don't like this. I'm sure he'll get on it right away.
