When does a free state become a police state? Is it when government declares itself "essential" but religious worship "selfish"? Or when making a living becomes a crime? Or when free speech rights are afforded only to those who say "correct" things? Or maybe when tens of millions of Americans find themselves unexpectedly labeled as "domestic terrorists" by the military-media complex overnight?
Perhaps the telltale sign is this: simply asking why becomes subversive. Questions become bigger threats than foreign missiles. Words are regarded as weapons legally possessed only by those in power. For all else, they are rendered contraband.
If Congress were transparent, rather than vindictive, and if its members worried more about finding truth than burying it, then lawmakers in D.C. would have spent the last few months quelling doubts about the 2020 election instead of intensifying those doubts with a second, inflammatory impeachment. Alas, we're ruled by unserious people who take their power very seriously.
Consider the following contraband questions Congress will never answer:
Why should the 2020 election be viewed as legitimate if the outcome depended entirely upon the unprecedented use of mass mail-in balloting implemented, in some cases, against state law?
Why is Congress not interested in knowing how many mail-in ballots were counted in battleground states that were either received after legal deadlines or in violation of signature-matching requirements or other safeguards for authenticating voter identity?
Why is Congress so incurious about the reality that Donald Trump won nearly every bellwether county from coast to coast by double-digits on his way to losing the election?

Write the story of this election in stone and bury them as warnings for future civilizations.
Dem Platform:
Demonize-Ostracize-Criminalize
No dissent. Resistance is futile.
This is especially depressing when you realize that we have a whole Constitution dedicated to preventing just this situation from arising.
Good questions. Scary answers.
The answer is both SIMPLE and Scary.
The Simple Answer - Politicians and Judges put HATERED of Donald Trump over LOVE of Country. Damn them ALL TO HELL !!!!
The Left always projects. They accuse us of insurrection but in reality they are performing a communist takeover of the U.S.. Nothing less. Nothing more.
This all came in softly on little cat feet, wandering in from the mists. Bit by bit, the passage of the Great American Experiment was diluted and supplanted by error and deliberate untruths, until only the forms remained, and the content was entirely hollowed out. As tyranny came to America, it was not be the assault by enemy troops, nor conquest by sea or air, but a dimming of the sensibilities of the majority of Americans themselves. We have seen “America”, the spirit and ideal, changed into “America in name only”, as surely as the Roman Republic became the Roman Empire, and sank into the morass that was the decivilization of much of the European continent for a thousand years.
Who is John Galt? When confronted with this question, Atlas Shrugged.

Who exactly is inciting insurrection among the citizenry?

<><> Why is Congress so oblivious about Trump winning nearly every bellwether county by double-digits but lost the election?
The person writing this article does not know how to escape frome longwinded-ness.
Why Hatred? Dislike, maybe ok, but Hatred?
Dems don’t know where all the guns are.
Fixed that.
When does a free state become a police state? Selective law enforcement and prosecution. Easy-peasy.
Every congress member should be forced to answer all the “Why?” questions in this article.
I don’t think any state ever declared itself to be a police state. All governments claim to be protecting freedom for their people.
The “police state” label is affixed by hostiles.
It is a bit shocking to realize that those "controlling" words on paper don't mean what you think they do. And the entity that decides what the words mean is the same entity that controls you at threat of gunpoint.
Exactly.
