The great fighter-writer Jim Bovard cracked the code on the U.S. system of selective justice: "For January 6 defendants, federal prosecutors are using a simple formula: Trespassing plus thought crimes equals terrorism." The judge presiding over Hodgkins's case, Randolph Moss, put Bovard's formula to good use: By carrying a Trump flag into the hallowed halls of Congress, Hodgkins was guilty of "declaring his loyalty to a single individual over the nation." So much for freedom of association!
That's not so hard to understand, is it? In a free country, you must prove your loyalty by never disagreeing with the government. To protest the government against the government's will is tantamount to terrorism, and to express thoughts that make the government feel uncomfortable ups an ordinary trespass charge into a crime against the state.
Wait, I'm starting to think China's new national security law reining in Hong Kong freedoms might have been written by the good and honorable folk in D.C. Or does despotism occur only when China does it? Maybe "liberal democracies" and "authoritarian regimes" aren't so different when Secretary Blinken's comrades grab hold of power. Perhaps the "beginning of the end for freedom of expression" is not just a Hong Kong problem, but a D.C. problem, too. Quick, someone call Amnesty International before it's too late!
