The United States is undergoing a significant transformation under leadership characterized as authoritarian. Recent changes have led to a stark difference in the nation's political landscape compared to even six months prior. The environment is increasingly reminiscent of dictatorial regimes, complete with elements such as secret police and an unaccountable internal enforcement agency intended to instill fear. Daily life continues amidst these profound shifts, reflecting a complex interplay of personal experiences alongside the overarching political climate.
We have crossed a line. We are in a place we did not want to be, but we are there. The thing we were all warning about for the last few years is not coming. It is here. We are in it.
Life in the United States is profoundly changing. It’s profoundly different than it was even six months ago, because we do now live in a country that has an authoritarian leader in charge.
Imagine the cartoon level caricature of what you think a dictatorship looks like. I mean, it’s secret police... a massive anonymous unbadged, literally masked, totally unaccountable internal police force.
They act in ways designed to instill maximum fear and use maximum force. I mean, when you imagine an authoritarian country, right, what you imagine is masked secret police.
