I am alarmed.

So, I know that this is sort of long-ish, but I think it needs to be watched.

Does this worry anyone else?

Okay, I've been giving this some thought over the last couple of days and researching some of what she's said. As far as I can tell, this woman is not wrong on a lot of the points she makes.

( On a side note, Megan already posted this link, but I found her "10 easy steps to fascism" really interesting.

So, you may not believe that this is all part of a bigger plan, or that there's actually been a "coup" as she suggests. I don't honestly believe that there's not going to be an election or transfer of power, although I suppose that remains to be seen in January.

Regardless, it does not change the fact that the abuses of power she outlines are wrong in and of themselves. And to me, the scariest part of it all is that people don't seems to care about that anymore. There's been a slow erosion of our liberties, and we've been propagandized to think it's okay. And with this sort of mentality, who's to say how far this could actually go?
