It’s weird to me just how blatant US authoritarianism had to get before most people started recognizing it as authoritarianism. It’s like they were actually inside a house when it caught fire, and just stood there coughing and blinking from the smoke, moving into other rooms to escape the heat, yet still waited until they were completely surrounded by flames that cut off any escape route. Then once the roof started falling around them, they finally started saying, “The house is on fire!” to neighbors standing on the lawn, holding up little signs, except for the one vowing to write a letter to the fire department on Monday.
