The road to #Fascism is paved by people telling you to stop overreacting (that's not a Bradbury quote but a fundamental Truth of our time). Many of us called out every step of the path, so many more just lazily sniffed that they "don't pay attention to politics" #Fahrenheit451 #RayBradbury #America
