All I can say to this is that people always believe that it can’t happen to their country, until it does. I saw it happen in Venezuela, which until the 2000s was Latin America’s oldest democracy, with a solid constitution, a clear division of powers, an independent judiciary, and a lively press.
A lot of people are explaining what Trump can and cannot do, based on the law and Constitution. The reality of the situation is that we're about to find out what legal walls and safeguards will hold and which will crumble. Right now, we don't fucking know.

It’s disheartening to see that, for some, freedom is equated with the right to offend others. What they dismiss as "self-censorship" is, in reality, the respectful behaviour that underpins a functional and cohesive society.
