We aren't "approaching" autocracy. We're not "on the road" to dictatorship. We're not "sliding" toward a Constitutional crisis.
We are here. We have been here. The moment already came and went. And the road back out narrows by the hour.

Short of a military or intelligence community counter-coup (statistically less likely than lead spontaneously transmuting into gold), it’s armed revolution or else 50+ years of autocratic rule, minimum.
Once in power in 1933 the first people the Nazis targeted for arrest and imprisonment were political opponents.
Dachau, the first Nazi concentration camp, was built shortly after in March 1933 to imprison political opponents.
I think that many of us here on Bluesky already know this. In my 1st career (Spanish prof) my area was national trauma (civil war, dictatorship, genocide, & torture) & how this filters thru literature and art.
I'm trying to figure out how best to contribute. You?
