we're not "sliding into autocracy"... we have already slid into it (past tense). The bigger question is what to do about it and how to change it, if that's what Americans want. If they don't want democracy, the question becomes what to do with all of us who DO want what that form of government. Shipping everybody off to concentration camps and gulags is not feasible in the long run. So, I go back to my thoughts of many months ago -- how about if we divide the country?
