I'm not saying we're due for authoritarianism, which you will definitely interpret this as. But every time a country in history HAS slipped into authoritarianism - there were many people who responded like the above, and often not too long before it happened.
Democracy is an experiment. It's not a done deal.
Things that we swore couldn't happen here have already happened. You are a fool if you don't believe it will get worse. When people are rounded up and carted away in the middle of the night, some will realize the horrible mistake they made. Others, like Stone, will applaud seeing their political enemies jailed and executed, because he really is a Nazi. Eventually, they will come for enough people that the rest will toss them out on their asses. The arc of history is long, but it bends towards justice. But we are about to go over the cliff. I think it's over.
