Big pro-authoritarian energy in Trumpland today:

The president's (recently pardoned) former national security adviser, Mike Flynn, shared a message encouraging President Trump to "temporarily suspend the Constitution," impose martial law and "silence the destructive media."

The statement cheers Lincoln for trying to arrest a Supreme Court justice who disagreed with him (which many historians say never happened). And it says violence by Antifa and BLM - including haranguing people as they eat - means "we are literally under attack from within."

There's lots of this stuff -- calls for martial law, etc. -- floating around on the very-MAGA end of the internet. This one seems notable because it's being endorsed by a former general who once held one of the top national security jobs in President Trump's administration.
