    I wish everybody stopped talking about “test run” and “slippery slope”: we’re 200% IN the authoritarianism. In fact, it’s so authoritarian everybody can stop using the authoritarianism cutesy and call it what it is: FASCISM.

      This is part of the reason why so many on the right are labeling any use of “fascism” as dangerous rhetoric – to remove the ability to discuss current happenings in a more meaningful way.

      Im convinced voting can be cancelled, people rounded up for mass extrajudicial execution and media will still be running headlines about “our declining democracy”

        They’re already rounding people up for extrajudicial deportation. If they happen to die in the process, well, they were illegal anyway!
