The Subordinate Citizen
American Greatness ^ | 8 Jun, 2022 | Victor Davis Hanson

Americans feel that ordinary citizens like themselves who follow the rules are treated more harshly by their own government than are both noncitizens and our own progressive elites.

I recently led a group of about 100 citizens to tour Israel for nearly two weeks. Before returning to the United States, all participants had to indicate their vaccination status and take a COVID-19 test for reentry.

There is a two-tier justice system just like they have in communist dictatorships.

I no longer feel like a citizen.

I feel like a subject.

“I feel like a subject.”

Me too also.
Or maybe even lower.

I seriously think there is a global effort to bring back a type of feudalism. We will be serfs, tied to the land and expected to own nothing. But we will be happy.

This entire notion of “citizens” and “individual rights” and “liberal democracy” is about 250 years old. The world has spent thousands of years operating in far less kind conditions, and I expect the world to go back to what it knows best. Sadly.

“ and we will hear from them very soon.”

Maybe not the way Professor Hanson thinks. But we will be heard from nonetheless.

And the real pushback will come in the form of another stolen election by the criminal cabal in charge.

The Democrats are going after President Trump. If they were to indict him and try to put him in jail, I fear what the reaction will be. My biggest fear is...no one will do a thing but bi*ch on their computers. And if what they are saying on all the talk shows, they “have the evidence”. (Adam Schitt again!)

Under a just system that followed decency and law these criminals would already be in prison and they know it.

They will never go quietly, understanding exactly what they have done and what could happen to them if law and justice are ever restored in this country.

They cannot let that happen.

Yep. -“Subjects” are average democrat voters who go along..

WE, who disagree and don’t go along willingly are considered vermin.

The extermination process will start in earnest over the next few years..

Their concept is that as long as Congress is in session, they can break no laws.
They broaden the scope of Constitutional immunity for Congress to include being arrest on their way to and from Congress when NOT in session.

Consent of the governed is no longer a “Rule of Law” in the US and we serve the Legislative elites with our time, talent and treasure.
Not with our vote.

Democrats treat criminals and illegals better than they treat American citizens because democrats like criminals more.

It's a 'family' thing - - birds of a feather and all...

Corrupt white liberal ‘elites’ want the cheap labor, the desperation and the little children to rape. And yes, hundreds of children are sent to their ‘aunt’ at the same address...
