#Facscism Rises in the US, using legal mechanisms.
The process is:
1. Far Right does something violent
2. Laws are made ostensibly addressing what the Far Right did
3. Those laws are applied to crush constitutional rights of speech & expression for #Climate & other activists
Examples:
#WaterProtector Jessica Reznicek was charged with a terrorism sentencing enhancement created after the Oklahoma City Bombing
#StopCopCity activists are now being charged with terrorism
