Once the government claims the right to strip anyone of due process, rights cease to be rights and become privileges, granted or revoked at the whim of those in power. That is not a constitutional democracy. That is the scaffolding of fascism.

Because what's going on right now isn't just a dictatorship; it's a fascist dictatorship. Like my country is also a dictatorship and they still won't kidnap you and put you in concentration camps for being brown (or any other color). Many of this administration's actions can only be understood as part of a fascist takeover.

It's not even a takeover, that's the sad part. We elected these chucklefucks.

I voted. Against all this. I'm not taking any credit with that garbage "we".
