...the Fascism has been patiently engulfing our democracy--slowly like a boa constrictor ingesting a woodchuck.

What we are witnessing, is the final stages.

We no longer have a democracy. They're just digesting the last vestiges.

And what happens if you attempt to rescue the dead, partially-digested woodchuck? There are
protections in place for the snake. At this phase of the game--the snake has trap doors
set for you. And if you try to do anything stupid (which is futile anyway, the woodchuck
is dead and decaying), you are declared an "enemy combatant", detained indefinitely, refused
an attorney and your Habeas Corpus rights--and you can be tortured.

Oh dear, you say. This is bad. Yeah, that's why the snake put these fail safes in place before
everything was so obvious. And naming it a pretty euphemism like "The Patriot Act" is helpful
too.

We're all ready screwed. All you can do is prepare for what's next and determine how you're going
to handle living in a Fascist nation, or if you'll leave, etc.
