A Man Wrote A Book About When Autocracy Comes Knocking At The Door [View all]

He was on MSNBC, which gives him some credibility, but I don't remember his name.

I remember one thing he said about what to do when the knocking begins;

Do not listen to people who say everything will be OK.
Do not listen to people who have taken months to come around and finally say there is a problem.

Something to ponder, I could mention names but would get scalded.
