Geeze, I thought Reid was actually being rather restrained. If this is setting them off towards fascist threats already, I don't know what to think.
There's also this:
Harry Reid's office quickly responded with a statement:
"It only took five days for President-elect Trump to try and silence his critics with the threat of legal action. This should shock and concern all Americans. Trump has always used threats of intimidation to silence his critics. Now he wants to silence a discussion of the acts of hate and threats of violence being committed in his name across the country. Silencing this discussion normalizes hate and intimidates the victims. […] Instead of rising to responsibility of his office, Trump is hiding behind his Twitter account and sending his staff on TV to threaten his critics."
S.B. 1, January 10, 2017: The Lèse-majesté Act of 2017. Text in full:
"Effective from this day forward, it shall be unlawful for any citizen or resident of the United States of America to make or cause to be made remarks, statements, publications, tweets, Internet web sites radio broadcasts or television programs which may be construed as harmful to the good reputation or public regard of President Donald J. Trump, his business enterprises, family, and properties. Penalties for violation of this Act shall be determined by President Donald J. Trump."
Oh, I'm staying informed. I'm not really able to do much more than just that, and having his face (and voice, god that voice) plastered all over everything all the time isn't helping with my fears. Dear Leader comes to mind. I have honestly never wished I could leave before, and I know I can't. No foreign countries want an old guy like me unless I can bring them money. Well, Peru would, but Medicare is no good there. And I need my Medicare.

aka "Dear Leader"
I, for one, am terrified. I think to not be is to be asleep…
I'm not terrified. I'm staying informed, motivated, and trying to think of the best way to a better situation.
