Folks should have woke up back when they were setting the table for all of this stuff...
They didn't, of course.
And now you're up against the image they're portraying that America is under siege from within. It's a very powerful image. A very useful one. Now simply disagreeing with your government deems you an enemy combatant, according to the image being portrayed.
This, predictably, will continue to be the image portrayed in order for them to continue their blatant assault on your rights to free speech. Your rights to gun ownership. Among others...
And, unfortunately, the people will largely love them for it. Much as they did back when the little minion popped off the way he did in that old Senate floor recording.
