I'm not trying to exaggerate the situation, but they're imprisoning journalists, kicking random people out of the country or keeping them in conditions so bad that it sometimes kills them, they just bombed a random country ignoring the system that's supposed to make that illegal without authorization, and so on and so on. They just assassinated a Democratic politician.

It's all a spectrum. People are still in the streets without being shot, they're still backing down or being forced to free some particular people. But the standard of "going to war without authorization" is a guard-rail that fell years ago, and more are falling every week now. If you're waiting for the moment to fight back against the dictatorship, this is it.
