“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn
The Gulag Archipelago
You don't have to defeat "The Government", you just have to show all their jackboot, orders-takers just how dangerous it is to oppress a free people. When you think about how fast the left has fully weaponized all the Federal Agencies, how fast the two tier justice system has now become the norm, the rhetoric of Potatous and the screeching Demotyrants calling out conservatives and Trump voters as enemies of the State and terrorists, and how the ATF is now going door-to-door because they changed an interpretation all on their own, we are very, very close now. I've said it a thousand times, the fears of the right are the fever dreams of the left. Our Federal Government is going to attack it's own people. If not, then why are they sowing fear and hatred, and demonizing their political enemies? This isn't how normal politics looks. This is escalation after escalation. Leftists and totalitarian government ALWAYS attack. I used to think this meme was funny. It's not funny to me anymore.
