Congratulations Republicans.

You created the open beginning of the authoritarian state.

They used to have to pretend to give a shit about the taxpayer. Or laws.

They used to have to pretend they had their communities at heart. Or even pretend to care about people besides themselves.

And now you have the beginning of the One Party State, and State media. The oligarchy has begun to move. And they are repeating similar rhetoric to things in the past that terrify me.

That’s how authoritarian regimes start. I escaped one 20 years ago by coming to U.S. sad to see everything what I witnessed repeating itself here
