@augieray It's unfortunately no longer 'early signs' - it's the smack middle of it by now.

What is happening in the USA is straight from the playbook of Russia and China. Heavy government censorship and encouraged persecution of political belief, while random people are being rounded up by masked police forces in the streets due to nothing but skin color.

I wonder how long Europe can hold on, with the similar trends in multiple of our countries as well. It's going to be a dark, dark period.
