46. And I say "wake up" to those deniers that will argue that we aren't totally in a police state.

The militarization of local police departments, the "stand your ground" laws, the massive arrests per the so-called "drug war", the over the top police violence against protestors and average innocent citizens (and dogs), are manifestations of slide ever farther into a fascist state. The Plutocratic Oligarchy leaders are conspiring and acting thru their government puppets to tightening the noose.

We may not be in a total police stated yet, but we sure as hell are headed that way and the current administration isn't looking to put the breaks on.

And yes this is a CT and may be subject to attack by those that are living in denial. Dog bless them.
