And the system was literally taken hostage in order to put him into power - primarily through threats to the media which then ridiculed anybody who noticed what was going on, making it politically toxic for honest players within the system to address the compromised system.

2008 was literally a coup - a deliberate, well-planned scheme to put into the White House a puppet of this nation’s primary sworn enemies: the Islamists and the communists, with whom Obama has always been allied. Both groups have said that they would exploit the vulnerabilities in the system to destroy the nation from within and that is exactly what they have done.

Those who say “It could never happen here” underestimate the vulnerabilities in the system (especially the power of the media, which has itself voluntarily become an enemy of the Constitution and which has the power to destroy politicians and thus owns them) AND the seriousness of our enemies. 9-11 was never supposed to happen either, but our enemies mean business even if we don’t, and they are willing to wait 10 years for the time to be ripe to implement their plan.

The founders knew that the only way to keep the wolf from taking over is by having vigilant citizens crying “Wolf!” whenever a potential wolf shows up, and our system was set up this way because it is to be EXPECTED that power-hungry wolves will be looking for an opening. The fact that the wolves didn’t take over in the past is not an indicator that there weren’t wolves; it is an indicator that the people crying “Wolf!” was enough to stop the wolves.

Which of us, when our anti-virus program tells us it has stopped malware, says, “I’ve heard that time and time again but I’ve never seen an actual virus do anything. It’s all just false alarms. My computer is impenetrable and I’m going on a crusade to tell everybody how worthless anti-virus programs are because they keep warning about these viruses but nothing bad ever really happens!”?

Those on this board who repeat the mantra of “It could never happen here” are anti-Constitutionalists who disbelieve everything the Founders knew about human nature - and in doing so, they undermine the very protections that have kept us relatively safe since the founding of this nation.

A lot of things that everybody assured me “could never happen here” HAVE happened - in stunning boldness, deliberateness, and with calculated coldness and coordination between government entities at all levels, media, law enforcement, military, etc. That was made possible because America experienced a coup that put a foreign enemy combatant into power while media and the political system ridiculed those who simply observed what was happening.
