We aren’t sliding into authoritarianism, it’s here now & getting worse Trump wants to make protesting impossible by fortifying all the left-leaning cities with troops. That way we all face mass arrest for trying to use our 1A rights I’m so tired of this wannabe dictator & his idiot Nazi supporters
Militarized policing was exactly for this purpose
There are more of us than of them.
Well, we'll just have to be mass arrested then. They can't arrest everyone.
prison is big business and good for dictators. look @ el salvador
The "slide" was all the the years that brought us to this point (I'll let the reader decide how many years: Since the first Trump presidency? Since the stolen 2000 election? Since Reagan? Longer?)
My thesis is going to argue that it started back in the late-1950s with the John Birch Society They bridged the gap between the Old Right, the New Right, & the Tea Party, & their grassroots tactics & fringe beliefs have become the MO for the mainstream GOP Trump represents a lot of JBS ideology
