Syncretic at the least, one doesn’t vote for that sort of thing….one lives under it against their will.
Unless one is a Democrat voter.
1.Establishing the view that America is evil has succeeded beyond their wildest expectations! The Democrats have managed to create a coterie that believes that lie to the extent that they are willing to endorse, to suffer, even aide, policies and methods that cannot be considered American. And that is just why their voters accept what the party does….because it is views as resisting, opposing, America.
And that is why we are a police state.
2. “A police state describes a state where its government institutions exercise an extreme level of control over civil society and liberties. There is typically little or no distinction between the law and the exercise of political power by the executive, and the deployment of internal security and police forces play a heightened role in governance. A police state is a characteristic of authoritarian, totalitarian or illiberal regimes (contrary to a liberal democratic regime). Such governments are typically one-party states, but police-state-level control may emerge in multi-party systems as well.”

3. Every reader knows The Life and Strange Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe of York, Mariner, and the author, Daniel Defoe. If you know his life outside of the book, you might consider him the father of the police state. When he wrote a pamphlet that was judged libelous, he was sent to prison.
“He obtained his freedom by approaching the Lord Treasurer with a scheme that was worthy of Machiavelli. He suggested that the government needed a network of informers to point out potential critics and enemies: in short, an army of spies
The result was that Queen Anne was prevailed upon to release Defoe from prison, and Defoe proceeded to travel the country and build up a network of agents. It would hardly be an exaggeration to call him the father of the police state. He laid down the basic rules for spying. Each agent had to appear to be an ordinary citizen; every one had to be unknown to the others. The aim was unobtrusive thought-control of the people of England. And the scheme was amazingly successful—in fact, Defoe’s network became the foundation of the British Secret Service.” Colin Wilson, "Criminal History of Mankind"
