It’s almost like there’s a plan or project of some sort? Maybe they think they won’t ever lose power because none of this seems very constitutional 🤷🏼‍♂️

“Without skepticism of power and affirmation of truth, we will not have freedom of speech. The me speakers push us to embrace their power and treat everything they say as truth. They will call this “free speech.”

18. Be calm when the unthinkable arrives. Modern tyranny is terror management. When the terrorist attack comes, remember that authoritarians exploit such events in order to consolidate power.
