Not yet, you haven’t. But that’s the entire point of this article, that it is coming.

Where you got confused, apparently, is that the writer decided to narrate in the present tense for something that has not yet occurred. That, and speaking of past events in the present tense, are pet peeves if mine. If only my English teachers could see me now...I have become a full-fledged Grammar Nazi.

I’m not confused at all.

While I agree the fascists would love to enact such a regime, I know they cannot.

And I know they’ll be surprised at how many of them die when they try.
