    In the case of capital punishment, I don’t think the intent is for them to actually use the death penalty on us, but to use it as a scare tactic to push us closer to full erasure from public life. To say “look what we could possibly do to you” sort of thing.

      Possible, but they’ll probably have to actually try somebody for a capital offense before people are legitimately scared of capital punishment.
