Congress won’t do its job. The Supreme Court won’t do its job. This Judge Luttig points out what they all should be doing and acknowledges that they’re not. We’re truly on our own because there’s nothing to stop what this regime is doing. Lower courts stopping things doesn’t mean anything if the Supremes will overturn it or the regime ignores it. There’s no one to stop them except the People.

And I really don’t think Americans are up to the task. A third are full bore behind a dictatorship, they actively want it. Another third doesn’t give a shit at all, they don’t know and they don’t want to know. And most of the other third understands but are too afraid to do what has to be done.

We know there’s only one way to get rid of fascists, history has proved it. But it’s ugly, it’s bloody and it’s hard, really hard. I just don’t see millions of people willing to fight and die for their freedom.

But that’s what it’s going to take. This isn’t something that’s going to solve itself with an election or two.

Most people aren’t willing to face this fact.
