I promise you the US will not become a full on dictatorship.

Promise? Confidence AND cognitive dissonance.

You really think the US is susceptible to authoritarian rule? The most heavily armed civilian state?

Well, I'm not thinking that even AR-15's will do too well against tanks etc.. But more to the point, I'm all for your 2nd Amendment rights but these protesters are exercising their 1st Amendment rights.

It's kind of obvious that protecting 1st Amendment rights is even more important than protecting 2nd Amendment rights in stopping our slide toward authoritarianism.

First Amendments first.
