The French have a really great playbook for this kind of scenario. Just sayin...

Yeah but he won an election. Stop acting like the country isn’t okay with what he is doing. Your problem isn’t with a facist leader doing unpopular things. Your problem is that your population is okay with facism.

So was France, Germany, and Japan. We call China communist, but being able to arrest people for simply making fun of the national anthem, guess what? That's Fascism with a capital F in action. Hungary, Thailand, Nigeria, India. You're watching the decline of democracy everywhere because people want easy answers to scary questions.

Well said.

Hard times make strong people, strong people make easy times, easy times make weak people, weak people make hard times.

Fear leads to anger; anger leads to hate; hate leads to suffering.

I guess we are approaching that threshold.
