I will never understand how these people equate a less intrusive state with fascism or communism.
The state that doesn't allow authorities to demand papers or compel children to wear masks is the Soviet one?
But to be fair, Acosta is a dolt.

Though, as I noted at the time, The correct argument for 2016 GOP was: We’ve already helped Obama put two Constitution-busting justices on the Court, and now we have an patriotic duty to do everything within our legal power to stop him from doing it again.’

Fauci is incredibly thin-skinned.
Early on I was Fauci-neutral, but now I basically think he's the worst person in the country. A mendacious, political motivated, bureaucrat whose caused immense damage.
*one of the worst. lots of strong competition.

how does one become a writer at a major newspaper without understanding basic civics or the most fundamental aspects of american governance?
the constitution rejects direct democracy -- and yet these people keep pretending that it's some kind of baseline of good governance. it's just amazing. there is no popular vote, never was, and yet they write about it like it's a real thing.

Another example of anti-2A activists leaming heavy on this quote -- taking it completely out of context -- while ignoring the rest of the ruling, which upheld the right of individual gun ownership as it was "known to ordinary citizens in the founding generation."
The Scalia quote is taken from the section in which Heller specifically mentions "concealed carry" laws and "unusual weapons" and weapons for the "mentally ill." Semi-autos are not unusual; there are hundreds of millions of them in circulation.
And, of course, banning open carry would have struck any American in the Founding generation as tyrannical.
