This is also how facism occurs. Where people assent to a loss of liberties, because the cause seems justified.
This is a situation the the govt. has handled extremely poorly.

My only point is that just because a judge hears testimony and rules or rules badly or disagreeably doesn't mean we're about to become fascist. This happens all the time, virtually every minute.
