For years now pundits and journalists and politicians have been calling those of us ringing the alarm paranoid and irrational.

We’re not on a slippery slope. We’re freefalling and reaching terminal velocity.

People need to wake up and see the crisis unfolding in real-time.
Everyday that people want to pretend the status quo is working or that our institutions are holding is another day lost to an all-out assault on shared society. Everything happening is paint-by-numbers fascism. They don’t even disguise it anymore.
It changes in increments. We’re so far removed from a crime even being a crime that it’s hard to remember how it used to be. Unless Trump and his associates are challenged our concepts of law and order are going to evaporate.
Stop playing with life like it’s a chess match. Stop playing games with politics. This isn’t a game. It’s the rapid disintegration of liberal democracy. Surely we’re far enough into this crisis that even the most ardent can see this.
