"In autocratic countries, the judicial system functions as the cage bars. If you have courts packed with fascist sympathizers selected to sustain that system, where do you go to fight for your rights?" -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation https://www.patreon.com/posts/stay-and-fight-42729555

"If confirmed, ACB will be the third SCOTUS justice to have worked directly on the Bush v Gore case that handed the election to the GOP. ACB is being put in place as Trump suggests that SCOTUS will decide his election." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation https://www.patreon.com/posts/stay-and-fight-42729555

"Autocracy is legalized corruption. They bend and change the laws, ignore the laws, or use the laws to their own ends, because in an autocratic system judges are controlled by the crime family in power." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation https://www.patreon.com/posts/stay-and-fight-42729555

"2016 was not the start of a coup, but the end of one. One of the biggest warning signs was the Merrick Garland case. It showed McConnell understood how to transform a democracy into an autocracy. For him, Trump was just a wrecking ball." -- @gaslitnation https://www.patreon.com/posts/stay-and-fight-42729555

"McConnell seeks to turn the US into a one-party autocratic state controlled by the GOP. He's accompanied by those seeking to turn the US into a theocracy, including Pence, Pompeo, members of the Federalist Society, and ACB." -- @gaslitnation https://www.patreon.com/posts/stay-and-fight-42729555

"In other countries facing the threat of autocracy, the judiciary is often the last domino to fall. The courts are what can reject the brutal policies of a despot. Which is why the GOP targeted the courts first, before Trump's election." -- @gaslitnation https://www.patreon.com/posts/stay-and-fight-42729555
