What it will take to overcome this oppression is organized mass non-compliance. Patriots can take cues from Obama, the community organizer.

All politics starts at the local level. Some Small business owners in every community need to start taking leadership to organize all willing businesses to not enforce mask mandates, lockdowns, or vaxx cards. Once a majority do this, enforcement by authorities will be futile.

Until then, protests do little. Civil disobedience, mass non-compliance is the key, and this will happen only when they organize.

Correct that header - It HAS happened here! Justice is no longer blind. Rule of law depends on what political party a citizen associates with!!!!!!!

Become a democrat and you can sleep with Chinese spies; You can bribe foreign governments with 1b dollar payments; You can burn cities, loot stores, destroy historic statues, defy law enforcement; Pimp children: kill babies; steal elections.

But if you are not a democrat, you damned well not even jaywalk!

It ISN'T happening, it HAS happened.

Much like “1984” “Atlas Shrugged”, “Animal Farm”, “Lord of the Flies”, “Camp of the Saints” etc , intended as cautionary tales; this book too is being used as an instruction manual by the Democrats.

The book does sound like typical Leftist projection. It wins a Nobel prize, too, so some things never change.

FDR, no saint was he, accomplished much of the totalitarian power Lewis was trying to project onto the Right.

It is frightening to ponder the parallels between the Great Proletariat Cultural Revolution (China, 1966 - 1976) and what is happening in the United States today.

In China, people were forced to undergo "struggle sessions", where they were bullied and humiliated into confessing their "capitalist thought" or "right deviationism". Here, people are bullied and humiliated into confessing their "white privilege".

There, books which did not fit the narrative were thrown into bonfires. Here, books which do not fit the narrative are "cancelled" out of libraries and classrooms.

Here, at least not yet, opponents of CRT are not thrown into prison work camps, although they can, and are, fired from their jobs.

I know this is not an Army topic, but Sinclair Lewis’ novel is worth reading. I remember reading it back in the late 1960s/early 70’s and also thought: “I could never happen here.”
