Multiple times this year Iโ€™ve had coffee with fellow immigrants who grew up in corrupt third world countries and the shared sentiment has been that Americans donโ€™t understand how bad things are going to get.

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if youโ€™re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

If you're National Guard or active-duty military and are being ordered to violate Americans' constitutional rights, call the GI Rights Hotline: 1-877-447-4487. Questionable orders donโ€™t have to be followed.

I was reacting to the slightly reductive framing of "otherwise decent people" in the original that you quoted, but it doesn't really matter, to the extent that there are lots of "otherwise decent people" involved in those stories too. I'm just splitting hairs, you see? No harm meant.

How do you find someone in a huge city when they want to hide (and are data savvy)? For a novel Iโ€™m working on.

Actually, much horror also involves deeply broken and sometimes even morally rotten people making bad decisions.

I like how electeds don't count as "actual people" here. Well played.

The clichรฉ says we study history to avoid repeating history. The reality is that those most invested in suppressing the history of past evils are also the most actively invested in perpetuating and repeating those very evils.
