That quote from Orwell somebody posted about deception and force, when the deception is exposed all that’s left to the, is force. I would say the lockdowns are when the force began to be applied.

The covid stuff would seem to me to be a blend of deception and force, as some percentage of the population were terrified of covid and some still are. The increasing harsh censorship would be force, I think. The “at the point of a gun” force really isn’t happening other than some arrests for lockdown non-compliance in some states; not to minimize that tyranny. I think if they start using more force than that will be what triggers Trump ivoking the Insurrection Act, especially if widespread and several states.
I can’t image what kind of force that would be, state issued. More likely to be widespread riots that triggers it. IMHO of course.
Well, that’s all very true. But March 17 really kind of seemed like the day communism arrived with a hob nailed boot. But I’m still naive - they still might arrive with a literal hobnailed boot. Unless the BLMtifa are their boots.
