Yes that’s a possibility. But I think in a more general sort of way, top down political control is going to work out the way Prohibition did. Technology will give us 3D printers to build guns, Uber to avoid heavily regulated unionized taxis, new ways to educate our children outside the government-educational complex, new avenues for basic medical care outside heavy regulation. It’s not so much that the government can’t control these things to a degree by force, but that will become increasingly more impractical to do so. Progressivism is kind of fighting the last war.
And the Pro-regressives will bring in millions of immigrants to be placed in government schools...while the individuals will leave the same government schools by the dozens. Millions in to the gov. Dozens leaving the gov. How will the masses vote?! For the gov. Of course. The individual who leaves the gov. will need to be well educated and innovative.
