So, Trump is the candidate. Unlike Ted Cruz, a man I supported and still respect, I do endorse The Donald for President of These Unites States.
That being said, I always look at who runs for office in a futuristic way. What I mean is, what will our future be like if said politician got what he wants when elected.
It's an easy question that I have yet to hear anyone ask, or answer. What if Donald Trump does build the wall and it works so well that the only way in, or out of America is through Trump Wall?
Back in 2002 when George Bush suggested that we need a new dept to handle America's security, I screamed "HELL NO"! I did so, because we did not have a problem with security when 9/11 happened.
Nope, we had a problem with Bill Clinton wanting to stay out of jail over WhiteWater. So he had Jamie S. Gorelick create a wall of separation where information could not be shared. Thus we knew about the plot, but the people who knew could not tell the ones who needed to stop it from happening. (I'll let you all discuss that, but this is about something else)
Now we live under a government that in essence has a new dept that is above the law. A dept that Obama has been turning into his own little SS. Just wait, another lawless one will come one day to close the loop and end our freedom forever. The pieces are almost in place, minus one huge piece. A Wall!
So let's say in 8 years we are watching the greatest President in history retire after tuning the economy around. Immigration and terrorism has been defeated, Thanks in part to the, Trump Wall". We all praise him by electing his son, the junior Senator from NY, Eric Trump, as the next President of the United States.
Time s are good, we all stop paying attention until things go bad again, as they always do, as they always will, and Eric loses after 4 years to a politician that will make Obama look like a school kid.
This leader now turns things around to the point he/she turns Trump Wall into an iron curtain to stop us from fleeing his tyrannical rule.
So, what's to stop this future dictator from using the wall to keep us from fleeing?
“So, what’s to stop this future dictator from using the wall to keep us from fleeing?”
1. No one in their right mind would want to “flee” to Mexico, so it’s a moot issue. You know, pretty much like how the Berlin Wall stopped all of those West Berliners from “fleeing” to East Germany.
2. There is no wall stopping anyone from “fleeing” to Canada.
Who in their right mind would flee to Mexico?
Those were a defeated people. They gave it all up in the early 1900s, fell for the propaganda, and lived with it. I'll tell you this, we know history, we know it repeats itself whether or not its lessons have been learned. There are always those who are going to try to impose their will on others, and those types always seek power. It's not that power corrupts, it's that corruptible people tend to seek power.
So, we know if they start passing laws that will lead to firearm confiscation that we will have to make a stand, or we'll be living on our knees from that point forward.
Now, to answer your question. The Berlin Wall was designed to do just what you are concerned about. It was built after the people had already been put under siege, and had been subjected to secret police, but people still escaped East Berlin and made it to freedom in the west. Where there is a will, there is a way.
Stupid voters yields stupid leaders. I'm not sure that anything can be fixed. They The People are idiots.
