Fascists start by taking over elections, police/military, media and courts.

If you have those, it doesn't matter if people have guns.

@PDFlynn
Take a look at that picture again

The books don't care what's happening. The real danger is the five stormtroopers showing:
1) they can do as they please and
2) what kind of ideas will get you in trouble

That's why fascists proudly show these displays of power.

@PDFlynn
Also why accountability is soooo critical - early, consistently and powerfully.

Stunning Merrick Garland does not seem to grasp that.

@TCatInReality Yeah, not enough folks realize Democracy is at a bit of a crossroads here. This demands on all-hands-on-deck response. And Garland is a key player. He cannot F this up.
