"We Can't Give In to Fear"
Democracy Docket
By Marc Elias
March 10, 2025
It seems that everyone is afraid -- afraid that Donald Trump will target them next, afraid that Elon Musk may single them out on his social media platform.
No one wants to speak up.
Everyone wants to hide or lay low.
Government workers fear losing their jobs.
Corporate CEOs fear losing government business.
Media giants fear legal attacks.
Billionaires fear losing some wealth.
Republican politicians fear their next election.
Even big law firms -- whose ethical obligations ae to zealously represent clients and uphold the rule of law -- fear being targeted by an irrational, vindictive president.
It is often said: "When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."
If that is true, then only weeks into Donald Trump's four-year term, we are approaching tyranny.
