“Oklahomans would lose their mind if Pritzker in Illinois sent troops down to Oklahoma during the Biden administration.”

It’s very sad that Gov. Stitt can say this obviously true thing but @GovBillLee wouldn’t in a million years.

“Authoritarianism rarely storms the gates with tanks on Day One. It metastasizes through language. Call dissenters “domestic terrorists.” Declare a “war from within.” Recast protest as invasion. Once that script is established, tyranny follows.”
