By the time major media agree that it's a dictatorship, it will be so far along that they'll be afraid to call it a dictatorship.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him.

He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons.

Pope Francis’ letter to U.S. Bishops is incedibly powerful. This stands out to me especially. Every purported Christian faith leader who has endorsed or stood silent before Trump’s ugly immigration policies needs to be confronted with this statement.
