"These are tyrants at heart and tyrants mean business. They are usually more than willing to drop the velvet gloves and release the hounds of hell to stay in power." I know I'm preaching to the choir here but.....this comes back to the same problem. It's not going away. They won't be taken out later either. It's not going to get any better only worse. Like those who think we can avoid a constitutional crisis....WE ARE ALREADY in a constitutional crisis. You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police. Yet in their hearts there is unspoken - unspeakable! - fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts! Words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home, all the more powerful because they are forbidden. These terrify them. A little mouse - a little tiny mouse! -of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic. ― Winston S. Churchill

They are afraid of words and thoughts! Words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home, all the more powerful because they are forbidden. These terrify them.
