    People are seemingly waiting for “the thing” not realizing that there’s never “the thing” in a successive authoritarian takeover.

      I think most people thought that “the” line was crossed at some point several lines ago, but when there wasn’t an obvious consensus that “the” line had been crossed at that particular time, people kept looking around and waiting for others to say that “the” line had been crossed. That’s how we’ve all allowed it to get to such an insane point. We’re all waiting for a revolutionary instead of being the leader we need. I don’t think any of us feels qualified and capable.
