Teetering on the Precipice of Dictatorship

The United States of America is quickly becoming a dictatorship.

Wait…what? you’re thinking. North Korea is a dictatorship. Afghanistan. Not us. Not the United States!

While we may not have devolved into a repressive Orwellian dystopia the likes of which we pretty much universally categorize North Korea, the United States crossed the Rubicon last week when FBI agents arrested federal judge Hannah Dugan for allegedly “misdirecting federal agents away from the subject to be arrested in her courthouse, allowing the subject — an illegal alien — to evade arrest.

Flouting multiple court orders was just the beginning. In apprehending a judge while performing her duties providing legally required due process to an undocumented immigrant, the fascist regime currently taking a blowtorch to the Constitution is attempting to send the message to judges and lawyers they dare not even think about following this thing called the “rule of law” if it in any way flies in the face of political ideology.
