The phrase "A government should fear its people" keeps being held up as the 1 thing this movie presents as an allegedly conservative ideal.

But it's not just the words, it's the context. If people can see clear connections to conservatives causing all the fascist stuff, then the point is that it's conservatives who cause all the problems and is the "government" to be feared.

I find liberals parroting such platitudes really rich. These are the people who always insist on telling others what to do - by the myriad rules they make on enviro BS, safety nonsense (you must wear your helmet/belt or you'll pay big time!), worker's "rights", etc.

It is the LEFT who are the fascists, and I really don't like hearing from THEM that a gov should fear its people! What hypocrisy!
