Too late to turn around and it already is.
I agree. It will have to get a lot worse before the citizens will fight back. I expect those in power at all levels to increasingly view the citizens as subjects to be ruled. Such attitudes will attract humans who are even more evil to seek office to fulfill their sadistic fantasies. Once in power these evil humans will seek to push the boot harder on our necks. Most on the left are evil, power lustful scum.
Very dark days face our Republic.
