Paramilitary groups and white supremacist terrorists shut down the Michigan legislature and it's barely a blip on the radar.
This is an act of political terrorism and it threatens open society and democracy itself. America is in serious danger.

There is an observable process by which nations slide into fascism and authoritarianism.
Paramilitary groups operating with impunity and affecting the legislative process through intimidation and terrorism is a massive, massive step.
Deny it all you want, we're on a path.

Like the pandemic, anti-democratic lawlessness and organized political terrorism is infectious. It begins and then grows and grows until it kills the body proper.
These groups interrupting government inspire attacks on open society. That's a major part of the authoritarian slide

And what you need to understand is that these white supremacist militias want is to plunge America into a racial civil war that will enable them to realize a fully fascist dictatorship.
That's their documented plans and what they're aiming to do. They know what they're doing.

Again, and I keep saying this.
These people are not just "gun nuts," "posers," or "losers." Laugh at them all you want, but they are organized and fully intend to destroy democracy in favor of a white dictated ethnostate.
That's who we're dealing with here.

This is terrorism, pure and simple, and it kills notions of democracy and open society. It breeds lawlessness and spreads fascism.
These people are not messing around, and we should take them very, very seriously and recognize they are a sign of political and societal crisis.

Simply saying, this is America, it can't happen here, doesn't make it so. It only empowers these fascistic movements and gives them room to operate.
America is not immune to decline or attacks on liberal democracy.
