I was never one of those "it can't happen here" types but I honestly didn't think I'd see it in my lifetime & the lightening speed has been staggering. We've been on this path since since the New Deal, really. The people who believe this country is theirs, don't want to share. The Nixon fiasco opened the door to presidential immunity with that whole sitting prez can't be indicted bullshit. Which, IIRC, is just a memo & not law. But here we are.

I'm going to spend some time investigating this site: https://indivisible.org

I'd heard about it awhile back & then forgot about it. We have to remember, there are more of us than there are of them.
