>If we concede even a scintilla of our constitutional rights, we fail.

based.

as someone from a country that had reached the bottom of many slippery slopes in less than ten years, it's very disheartening to see the West following us.



It comes across as unhinged with the current regime daily infringing the [USA] Constitutional rights of USA citizens and the UK in not way seeking to inhibit those rights.

That has been happening for decades at this point. That doesn't make today's violations ok, but neither are they something new. The people of the USA gave up on freedom after 9/11.


Slippery slopes have existed in all western parts of the world disguised as freedom since eternity. This isn’t something new.
