> without resorting to a much heavier class of draconian laws They may be coming down the pipe, after the soft version gets people macerated. > at which point you won't be living in a democracy But you will be hearing from talking heads that you are, and Russia and North Korea are the real dictatorships.

Maybe it's about accepting who has power now and about protecting the vulnerable. We have seen a bit of this stance and real capabilities in recent years.
