    Yeah. People don’t seem to understand that once the fascists have stacked the highest court, it’s game over for the justice system and any semblance of due process. The rule of law is dead. They succeeded in killing it.

    Once the fascists have seized control of all 3 branches of government? No amount of voting, protesting, or peaceful demonstration is likely to improve the situation — at that point the only way to restore democracy is through armed revolution and civil war.

      Or wait for the dictator to die like Salazar in Portugal. But 1) that would really suck and I don’t want to live thru all those oppressive years, and 2) Salazar was actually competent and could achieve beneficial things for his country.

      That’s such blatant bullshit you should be ashamed. You don’t beleive in democracy. You believe that it’s war if things don’t go your way.

        Why so incensed? They are describing exactly what must happen to restore democracy once it has been corrupted into something else. What would you do under a fascist regime to bring about democracy, instead?
