    The weight of the federal government came after a Man who threw a sandwich. Authoritarianism amplifies the smallest behaviors of citizenship and turns them into crimes, in order to undermine democracy and make authoritarianism seem normal. That is not normal. - Stacey Abrams

      Here’s the full 18-minutes on YouTube: [Stacey Abrams: “We Are in the Midst of an Authoritarian Regime” | Amanpour and Company – Sept 8, 2025](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iczWckudNew) 

      From the description: 

      >Stacey Abrams, former Democratic Party leader in the Georgia House of Representatives, says autocracy is on the rise in the U.S., with key indicators including the curtailing of the press, mass firings of civil servants and the use of the military against American citizens. 

      >This weekend, President Trump threatened to deploy troops to Chicago in the days ahead, following weeks of National Guard patrolling of Washington, D.C. 

      >Abrams joins the show to lay out what she says is happening right now in America, and what might be done to stop it. 

      >Originally aired on September 8, 2025

      As much as I respect Stacey Abrams I think we’re a little past the “this is not normal” rallying cry. This is very much normal for the America of 2025.

      You know I’m pretty tough on crime but if you feel assaulted for having a sandwich thrown at you grow a set of fucking balls.
