Agree. Using government agencies as political weapons and attempting to suppress opposing points of view are undermining our democracy and are something altogether far more serious than Watergate ever was. And yes, the media is a complicit enabler.
IMO this ountry is too detached, apathetic and unaware to mount any type of revolution. A slow disintegration is more likely. The country is already barely recognizable from what it was just a couple of decades ago. Jusy my humble opinion.
Pledging one's life, entire fortune, and sacred honor is no mean feat. No one changes from a point of relative comfort.
