"We are now officially living in a dictatorship"
Not quite, yet, but damn close. Keep in mind all the despots that are elected.
Glenn is linked to from the above post and seems somewhat hopeful as he responds to the many concerns in his comments. Some of the folks there, wearied and despondent over the political process, offer social movements as an alternative.
"He [referring to Glenn] may be right, if we act right now. If not, within three years, I predict that Americans will be fighting Americans on American soil. Just a hunch. An eerie feeling of deja vu from someone who has seen the same signs fifteen years ago."
A while back Penheaded abandoned the notion that "it couldn't happen here". If we are lucky enough to have an effective opposition coalesce then that violent alternative can be avoided. On the other hand, revolution is the ultimate hybrid of social and political action.
We need to gird our loins and get done what must be done before we have destroyed this country.
