    …yet. Authoritarianism creeps, it crawls silently, strategically, meticulously, knowing that far too few will notice or care until it’s too late.

      I’m sorry, but WHAT?

      The US has been detaining citizens to foreign countries without due process.

      Supreme court validated ICE raids in cities.

      This is not ‘authoritarianism creeping’, it’s just doing a victory lap.

        Yes, but that didn’t happen overnight. The authoritarian creep had been happening long before, but it’s important to remember that they don’t yet have total control; they can do a lot of horrible things with impunity, certainly, but they need to keep up appearances and move more slowly with other things so they have less resistance from whatever remains of the judiciary.

      The people saying it’s a blanket ban is just spreading FUD about it right now. While it’s a valid concern, it’s highly unlikely the blanket ban will be seeping to DEX’s.
