Foreign affairs and national security expert Fiona Hill warned that the U.S. is in a "dangerous moment" and has already reached a constitutional crisis as political actors try to undermine elections and call for violence.

"I think the moment is incredibly dangerous. I mean we are in a dangerous moment," Hill said on "Face the Nation" Sunday morning.

Hill, a former National Security Council official who served as a key witness in the 2019 Trump impeachment hearings as a Trump administration official, pointed to serious threats as former President Trump is "clearly prepping for his return to the presidency," which he says is still rightfully his. The main threats to democracy, Hill said, aren't coming from the left end of the political spectrum.

"Unfortunately, I'm seeing the populism on the right is the most threatening at the moment," she told "Face the Nation" moderator Margaret Brennan.

1. This woman knows of what she speaks. We are in dangerous times.

[hamsterjill]

2. She's right.

That’s why so many of us here on DU are worried.

We need action now. Trump and his cronies belong behind bars.

3. well

Well, maybe this time, the police and national guard will use their abilities, procedures and equipment assigned to them. I may be in the minority here, but I believe this is not going to end well for many traitors if another January 6 happens.

4. I get it

However many times when I've been faced with the truth like this, I then ask "What do we do?"

[bucolic_frolic]

5. So what is the plan? Why are we so helpless

We simply must motivate our base and chase independents. You cannot convert the other side they are lost.

[Withywindle]

8. Because we've been taught that voting can fix it

This is not something that voting can fix. We do that. We won fair and square.

6. Bill Maher was right. Jan 6th was like Osama attacking the WTC in 1993.

They're coming back with planes.

7. Unfortunately this is correct

I hesitate to say this is the most dangerous time for the US in my lifetime, because I'm 52 and I lived through nuclear war scares....

But this is definitely the most dangerous time for the US in my lifetime when the worst danger is coming from WITHIN.

I have great respect for Biden and I'm glad he's the President - but I worry sometimes that he might not appreciate how great this threat is.

9. If anything, he knows far more about how great this threat is than anyone else.

I think the great losses in his life have made him think more deeply than anyone can guess. Which makes him the right person for the job of president, IMO. I can't imagine such losses and what effects they have had on him.

10. well...

...time to stop wringing our hands and whining and start doing something about it...

...is everyone going to stand idly by as the fascist take over?

...hope not...
