You know things are bad when Americans
think about freedom and start crying.
My country...
Jumping from tyranny today to invading
police stations tomorrow seems a bit rash.
Why not exhaust all possible solutions before
launching a civil war?
Resistance will fail unless the population is on your side.
There is a total police state, but it's all mostly
just laws, theory, equipment, and infrastructure
now. Even North Koreans think that they live in a free country.
Unless there is a spark and constant
visible violent government abuses, most people are just going to keep quiet and tolerate the tyranny until they become a victim themselves.
There will be an economic collapse,
revolution, civil war, and WWIII, but
it will probably happen as gradual decay.
Those who say that they're going to invade Washington tomorrow either sound
likes nutcases who are
going to be arrested before the revolution starts
or undercover FBI agents looking to entrap people.
Study history. Plan for the worst, but hope for the best.

I expect to see trade wars, foreign policy disasters, a few race riots, a decrease in personal liberty, higher taxes, higher inflation and probably, economic collapse. The silver lining is, secession will probably become more feasible.

According to the Tax Foundation, taxes now consume more than 38% of the average family's budget. That is more than is spent on food, clothing, housing, and transportation combined. Compare this to the plight of medieval serfs. They only had to give the lord of the manor one-third of their output -- and they were considered slaves. So what does that make us?
2 wrongs don't make a right.
The elites laugh when the 99% are divided.
For the totalitarian mind, adherence to state propaganda does not suffice: one must display proper enthusiasm while marching in the parade.
Whether tyranny started 50 years ago or
yesterday doesn't make it okay.
Americans are whistling down to the concentration camps and you're going to say nothing?
Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.
Society is becoming unglued.
The USA is supposed to be a free country, but it is a police state. The US is no longer a democracy, Americans no have longer rights, and everything is illegal.
The government blatantly breaks the law and then laughs and expects Americans to obey the law and pay taxes.
How can Americans sleep at night now?
What would an American do if he was married, had a house, car, job, and $100,000? Would he throw everything away to fight for freedom or would he try to justify being unconstitutionally wiretapped, groped by the TSA, being tracked with license plate readers, stopping for checkpoints, and being stopped and frisked?
How much is liberty worth to you?
Maybe Americans might benefit from studying King Charles, the French Revolution, the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the Vietnam War.

You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake.
There never was a good war or a bad peace.
