When referring to Dems pushing the Overton Window to the right this is it. “Liberal” Democratic legislators who regularly support right wing or corporate interests in opposition to the interests of liberal voters. They also take turns voting for GOP legislation to avoid shouldering individual blame

In authoritarian crackdowns, it’s important to randomly ensnare some people whom one would think would be safe, so that everyone is at least a little bit afraid that something could happen to them. The regime scales up its power of intimidation over a much larger group than those directly affected.

“The United States appears to be sliding deeper into the quicksands of authoritarianism.

Peaceful protests are confronted with military force, critics are treated as criminals, journalists are targeted, and support for civil society and international cooperation have been cut back.”
