“Do it gradually and Americans will accept all forms of tyranny as law - Patriot Act, NSA, de-facto militarised police forces”
I would say do it gradually and some Americans will accept it. Millions are not accepting it and we are headed for a major conflict over it.
Yeah, right.
If there are “millions” not accepting it, we’d have seen armed revolts by them circa 2001-2, if not before.
The truth is that the majority have had it shoved into them lying down, and they’ve bent and rolled over to comply.
