You're seeing all of this in a completely different way because you (like so many others here) still believe we have a genuine 2-party system.
The permanent establishment (regardless of which fraud politician happens to be in power) is using a tactic on you guys that you seem to be completely oblivious to. It's called Problem - Reaction - Solution. To sum it up, they create the problem (or allow an existing problem to get worse).... That problem causes a reaction from the public (people crying out to the government to "do something!")....and then the government "comes to the rescue" with the "solution" - which just so happened to be the pre-existing agenda in the first place. They just needed a pretext. Problem - Reaction - Solution.
They use this tactic all the time. That's why it's amazing to me that so many people still seem to be blissfully oblivious to it.
But I don't want to argue about this, you either get it or you don't. If you don't see it by now, we'll just have to agree to disagree.
I'll just leave it with this... any authoritarian power that you grant to an administration that you approve of is still going to be there once an administration you don't approve of is in power. You said you wouldn't mind if the same thing was done under a Dem. But will you feel the same when they start claiming that gun-owning patriots are "domestic terrorists" or that anti-globalists are "mentally ill"? You may think that's far fetched, but things like that have already happened. And their ultimate agenda is subversive, so of course freedom-loving patriots are enemy #1 to the powers-that-shouldn't-be.
