It has been tried before and it won’t work this time either.

[The world is heading quite rapidly toward tyranny.]

It will come (eventually); rest assured. It has been prophesied by the Lord God.

They'll be rather successful, for 7 years. But they will not cling well to one another, as iron does not mingle with miry clay.

Daniel 7:23
King James Version

23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon Earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole Earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

[The Normalcy Bias “is a cognitive bias that occurs in times of crisis, leading us to disregard any signs or warnings that we are in danger. ... Normalcy bias is a defense mechanism that lulls us into thinking life will just continue as it always has.”]

2 Peter 3:4
King James Version

4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

[Psalm 73]

"Solzhenitsyn said, “The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie."

Do not take part in the lie - push back at every opportunity.

So what if they say you are a bigot, or a "transphobe" or anti-immigrant. Laugh in their faces, make fun of their warped ideology - they HATE to be mocked. Mock them.

The new norm.

I have my own theory. I call it, "The new norm.". The older folks realize that things are changing for the worse. The younger ones who grow up with the extreme crime, rampant homosexuality and transgenderism, prostituton, drug dealing, shootings, homeless everywhere even at businesses one is patronizing, etc., ad nauseum frame that as the "new norm" as that is what they are living and seeing.

Therefore, in their minds, it IS normal because that is what happens all of the time. They do NOT understand that it didn't used to be like that and it can not be explained to them until they are moved into a society where things are normal and peaceful.

The world is heading quite rapidly toward tyranny. We are in a revolutionary period that will dramatically change civilization.

The Normalcy Bias “is a cognitive bias that occurs in times of crisis, leading us to disregard any signs or warnings that we are in danger. ...

Raise your hand if you saw this coming before the turn of the century. The Left have been a law unto themselves for a long time.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Huxley imagined “a prison without walls in which the prisoners would not even dream of escaping. It would essentially be a system of slavery where, through consumption and entertainment, the slaves would love their servitude.” He believed that “[t]he greater part of the population is not very intelligent, dreads responsibility, and ... is perfectly happy to let itself be ruled.”

Well, here we are. Now what?

Bread and circuses.

Are you not entertained!!!

“Why we are sleepwalking into tyranny”… To take over and have total control.

It starts with invalidating our vote (open boarder), silencing political opposition by any means, mockery of long standing values, traditions, religious beliefs, dummy down the ‘schools’, criminalizing gun ownership, thwarting property ownership, nullify US citizenship, provoking internecine discord, relaxing penalties for crime, polarizing political issues, flouting bureaucratic crimes and corruption….. tell me where to stop.

“The New World Order is a conspiracy theory which posits a new period of history bringing about a major change in the world with the balance of world power. This New World Order is theorized by some to involve a group or groups of elitist people bent on ruling the world through a single worldwide system of government.

Reminds me of those very fancy balls for the elite in Russia on the verge of the Russian Revolution.

[Rummyfan]

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

[old curmudgeon]

A scholarly presentation and absolutely correct.

But it has one major flaw:

It does not outline a realistic plan or means of preventing the destruction of our country.

Our representatives in the US House could stop it in 24 hours if they had the courage, and were not idiots, through the power of the purse.

These things happen in the US only because we have fools for representation who pay for it.

[I want the USA back]

The baby steps toward tyranny became giant steps with covid as the excuse. The fascists who occupy high places in government were ready to take full advantage of the situation.

Trump is the only one who understands the situation and who will change it.
