Make no mistake. The rhetoric is getting louder. The insults and self victimization coming from Fox News and the AM radio and podcast sphere are getting worse and way more toxic.

The Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are mobilizing and militarizing, and if Trump isn't stopped in the impeachment trial and runs again, he would have his own private army. That's a scary thought.

We may laugh at how ridiculous Q Anon and their fantasies of martial law and military tribunals are. But we are getting a real life preview of what could happen right now in Myanmar.

Don't think for a minute that it can't happen here. Because by the time you do it will be too late.
