I have noted several times in the past few years that the nature of our relationship with government seems to have shifted. Specifically, We The People now appear to be in an abusive relationship with government. In all abusive relationships there is a common set of behaviors; the DC control system is following a familiar pattern. My recent research trips helped me to understand exactly how severe and deep this shift has become.
Certain abusers distort reality in the mind of their victims through gaslighting. Essentially manipulative and strategic lying, to make the abused think something, perhaps even their reality, is completely different. Our government institutions and those who control the information flow into media have been doing exactly that. The examples are numerous, but the deliberateness began to take a severe tone with the COVID-19 fiats.

Parliamentary Institutions
At the whim of “the government elected” according to the socialist establishment.
The view, by the people, of the socialist establishment, is that the socialist establishment “cares” and gives the people what they need . . . and want.
The view, by the socialists, of the socialist establishment, is always the consolidation and increase of socialist power - and “care,” is what sells or provides for socialists, the appearance of of that word.
Of course once the scapegoats have been annihilated new scapegoats will be needed. They will be. carved out of the 'cared for' group.
Just stumbled onto:
Brave apparently trying to develop an AI thing originally devised at Facebook.
At its founding and for almost 200 years thereafter Americans identified men and woman as the two sexes. From Daniel Websters 1878 American Dictionary, the dictionary used by the founders and by generations after them:
Sex:
1. The distinction between male and female; or the property or character by which an animal is male or female. The male sex is usually characterized by muscular strength, boldness and firmness. The female sex is characterized by softness, sensibility and modesty.
Gender:
In grammar, a difference in words to express distinction of sex; usually a difference of termination in nouns, adjectives and participles, to express the distinction of male and female. But although this was the original design of different terminations, yet in the progress of language, other words having no relation to one sex or the other, came to have genders assigned them by custom. Words expressing males are said to be of the masculine gender; those expressing females, of the feminine gender; and in some languages, words expressing things having no sex, are of the neuter or neither gender.
Gender is what we’ve become because it facilitates the fallacious notion of nonbinary, transgender, homosexual, and so on. And because we've been deliberately dumbed-down, a majority of confused Americans use the word sex for what we do physically and fuzzy gender for what we are.
Fixed it.
“I have noted several times in the past few years DECADES…”
Yeah, really, where the hell has this guy been?
Nietzsche foretold the emergence of man as god. With the death of God (Jesus Christ) man must become Him. Thus, our centralized big government run by god men has already gobbled down all previous spheres of authority, beginning with Constitutional, parental, and moving into church (moral), community, state, school, legal, and political, and is poised to seize control of all resources, including man as natural resource. Already we think in terms of Human Resources, and this is not good but ominous.
The 2nd Amendment, Trump, and Maga are in the way of total power and ownership and MUST be destroyed.
Thank you. Somewhere, I saved 2 old dictionaries - one being a D. Webster.
I wish I had not thrown out the old Britannica printed just after WW-II.
I have my father’s very old, dog-eared Funk and Wagnall’s plus a copy of Websters 1878.
