But erecting fences around the Capitol after murdering an unarmed female protestor then refusing to release the name of the Capitol police officer who did it; or telling people they have to wear masks, social distance, stay in lockdowns, or having to get COVID shot; or refusing to allow journalists to report on the conditions of the illegal immigrants at the border; isn't authoritarian in any way.
They aren't finished with this, either. Their "commission" report will likely take until next summer to complete and it will predictably call Trump and his supporter's traitors. I don't give damn ONE about that nonsense. What I DO care about is their use of this bullshite to continue ramping up anger and hate between the Left and Right.
Mark my words, before they finish they will be rounding up Americans who were in no way connected to that riot. They are setting the stage for a lot more than trying to use these smears to win elections. We are going to see them dump the filibuster, pass HR1, give statehood to at least DC, pack the SCOTUS, and begin using our intelligence assets to find conservatives or anyone who openly supports Trump's run for president in 2024 and charge them with "sedition" or "domestic terrorism". Those who doubt this are in for a major shock in the coming weeks and months. These traitorous bastards have made their intentions clear. They will NOT relinquish power again. If a single violent event occurs where anyone attacks a Liberal or a Blue city for any cause, they will use it to send in troops and they may well call off elections due to an "Insurrection".
When that time comes, the only assistance any opponent of theirs will possibly receive will be the backing of their state government to resist the coup. DC is GONE. There is no way to cure what ails it and the only way to keep any amount of freedom is to secede and ignore the wailing of the Left. They don't have enough firepower or troops to occupy multiple U.S. states and even if they resorted to violently crushing selected populations in a few Red States, all it would accomplish is to out them for what they really are. For now, they still fear taking that step.
People who want to retain ANY level of liberty need to wake up immediately and begin annoying the hell out of their state representatives and governor. IF their state refuses to act as a sanctuary for 2A or any other amendments then people will know what lies ahead and can decide whether to move or go silent with any opinions online. 61% of the 3000+ U.S. counties have already declared themselves, by law, 2A sanctuaries as a result of the expected 2A infringements this regime is preparing. Voting your state representative or governor out after they've already committed to enforcing such unconstitutional edicts will not help at all. These criminals need to be resisted by the only peaceful means left to us.
