In case you haven't already heard, you're living in an oppressive, authoritarian dictatorship now. Don't believe it? It's easy to see once you know what to look for.
The Babylon Bee has come up with the following list of telltale signs of dangerous authoritarianism:
Someone you don't like won an election because more people voted for him: This should never be allowed to happen in a democracy.
People walking around smiling and enjoying their lives: Those poor, uninformed victims of oppression.
A TV show that lost $40 million a year got canceled: What are late-night talk shows supposed to do now? Be funny?
Literal concentration camps being built in the imaginations of journalists: Few things are more terrifying than literal imaginary things.
A super-hot actress did an ad for jeans: No one wants to live in a world where they have to look at attractive people.
Police trampling on the rights of hardworking carjackers and muggers: True freedom means never being arrested.
Jews are openly welcomed on university campuses: How far the education system has fallen.
Funding for Iraqi Sesame Street cut: Who will teach the little children their Alif, Baa, Taa's?
Food stamps no longer allowed to be used for Skittles: Fascists are waging war on the rainbow in more ways than one.
People you disagree with get to say stuff: How can anyone think this is fair?
Every item on the list above should send shivers up your spine. What other clear signs of totalitarianism do you see in America? Leave them in the comments.

One of our dear little liberals informed us that he was probably someone who had just lost his job and insurance and so it was Trump's fault.
The world inside their heads must be very strange indeed.
In their minds banks and insurance have more money than they need and deserve to have it taken from them.
#TDS is real. More proof right there.
It’s not just a strange place. It’s stranger than we can imagine.
We’re dealing with real “Twilight Zone” phenomenon.
My anti-POTUS relatives have taken to calling him djt in their posts lately. It must make them feel really good to be so disrespectful to him. Isn’t it sad to think that people are wasting so much energy and emotion, on simply hating Donald Trump? One of their favorite labels for the administration is authoritarianism.
LOL!!!!
1 Trump
2 Trump
3 Trump

The Bee gave me a smile! Well done, as usual!!
I have heard shoplifters argue that it was “only” taking stuff from a store/company and “nobody” is hurt. As if they aren’t actually robbing people. They really cannot see the connection.
