Don't be afraid, my fellow DU'ers
From David Frum (Our friend for the time being, heh)
GOTV!!!!!!! https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2017/03/how-to-build-an-autocracy/513872/ "...Those citizens who fantasize about defying tyranny from within fortified compounds have never understood how liberty is actually threatened in a modern bureaucratic state: not by diktat and violence, but by the slow, demoralizing process of corruption and deceit. And the way that liberty must be defended is not with amateur firearms, but with an unwearying insistence upon the honesty, integrity, and professionalism of American institutions and those who lead them. We are living through the most dangerous challenge to the free government of the United States that anyone alive has encountered. What happens next is up to you and me. Don’t be afraid. This moment of danger can also be your finest hour as a citizen and an American."

1. Just we because we need to pay attention, it doesn't mean we should be afraid. Fear nothing!

7. Has Frum acknowledged his role in the lead up to Trump?
Republicans were headed this direction long before Trump came along. Did he speak out on McTurtle’s stealing of Obama’s SCOTUS pick? Anything before that like the private meeting that occurred to block EVERYTHING Obama would do while Obama was being sworn in?
