We've nearly arrived. The medical examiner who testified in the Chauvin trial is under investigation, people get fired for their opinions, the a-holes at FB and other anti-social media sites plaster denials and provisos over opinions and facts they don't like, and laws that actually exist and make sense are either under attack or just not enforced.
How many of us can post under our real names on Facebook and Twitter that we voted for Trump? Our careers would take a hit. We'll lose our friends. Relatives may lose touch with us.
