I clapped but it seems wrong to clap that America has entered The Twilight Zone.

You are traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. Your next stop, the Twilight Zone!

Be scared …

BE VERY SCARED

Be scared because this is NOT your imagination. It is a slide toward authoritarian fascist rule.

And don’t imagine it is NOT possible. This IS the way democracies die.

Go read about Argentina, Brazil, The Dominican Republic, Ghana, Nigeria, Peru, Turkey, and more. You will see the parallels. Our Constitution has allowed us to hang on but how much longer?

If you have the courage you can read “How Democracies Die” by Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt.

And when you are done …

YOU WILL BE VERY VERY SCARED
