Don't leave the UK out of your criticism. Free speech there can be rewarded with jail time. And don't leave out the dystopian Big Tech surveillance ... here come the downvotes. Sure you guys are all making six figures or more, but what is the price? Guilty until proven innocent surveillance, unreasonable search and seizure. Unconstitutional, anti-American theft of communications.

Today's situation seemed very far away from us 6 months ago.

I'm continually shook that America voted for the man that explicitly said he was going to be a dictator.

#14> American fascism looks like the would-be self-proclaimed king deploying the military on US soil not only not in response to requests by local or state officials but over — and almost specifically to spite — their vociferous objections.
But this is literally how school integration was enforced - by pointing bayonets at students: https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2018-02/15/1...
