Alexander Solzhenitsyn had stated in his text that Stalin, early on, would have gotten nowhere if people had resisted. The early NKVD sent “squads” of only 4-5 men to pound on the doors at 3 am. He (Solzhenitsyn) said that IF they had only laid in ambush with pick axes and knives the whole tragedy of the gulag would be a different story indeed. Stalin would have run out of willing thugs early on.
In the beginning the dictator’s henchmen were few in number, same with the Nazi’s.
There will always be a few brainwashed soldiers, sadistic policemen and treasonous politicians who would advocate “arresting” free thinkers and hauling them away in trucks.
At the end of day these traitors still have to go home, which is next door to you & me (and a few million others). I believe that the vast majority of the police and military will side with the Constitution, their neighbors and their families.
Thugs will always side with their paycheck, benefits and pension - make them be the ones afraid to leave their house.
IF this whole idea of a ‘civilian security force” comes into being, you will need to decide now where you stand.
Choose wisely.

Its time we had a showdown in this country. Obama’s brazen attempts to seize power make the time for showdown now
The left needs its @ss kicked
And don’t get the idea that all Black people are riding the Obama socialist express
We aren’t
The happy times for Democrats might come back as with the Clintons. Obama would control the DOJ and IRS, and he would have unlimited amounts of money to hire private investigators to investigate, blackmail, and intimidate any person, public or private, who might disagree with him. However, people of the left prefer incarceration and execution over conversion. It’s quicker and more to the point.
Absolutely true. Likewise the Nazis would have had a much harder time of it in the early 30's when they were still weak. Hannah Arendt mentions in her Origins of Totalitarianism of the 'atomization' of the society, the view of the common citizen that they are alone, that they are helpless against the overwhelming power of events. Keep them feeling that way through terror and propaganda, and you can grab the troublemakers one at a time, with little or no resistance. Read stories in the paper of an innocent victim of an assault which occurs in front of hundreds, who do nothing. "What can I do?" "Not my problem." etc. Organization wins out over atomization every time.
It would end up that the military and police would end up being the heros as well as everyday Americans if Obama gets elected and plans to do mischief like this.
