We're already there, man. Let's get real: we are, at this point, some kind of police state. I'm calling it. I mean when the guy can literally get away with taking bribes, is actually allowed to overrule the constitution by executive order, and invades and militarily occupies cities of this country in an increasingly routine and casual way without repercussion (y'know, prior leaders might have invaded other countries, but the Trump administration has put America first), I don't think there's any sober way around that conclusion, and that's all before you even get to the increasing tendency of the universities and the media to self-censor for fear of being sued. Also, while we still seem to have halfway functioning elections for the time being, I would make a mental note of the curiously high number of Democratic officials who've been jailed and even killed this year so far. In fact as I write this, practically the entire Democratic slice of my state's legislature is under threat of arrest. We are now a fascist country. It depresses me too.
