True.. The people have the government they want and deserve NOW...
It takes only a few to revolt.. as it did the first time..
It's a weird situation, dear brother in Christ. Probably no more than 10 percent of the population (and quite possibly much less) is devoted to the destruction of our system of liberty under law, with equal justice for all — such destruction being the greatest hope of progressivists of every stripe second only to the murder of God. Probably somewhere between 20–30 percent of the population would be adamantly opposed to such intents and purposes. The "in-between" 60 percent or so are totally clueless.
And yet that 10 percent has its fingers all over the buttons of state power, and is doing everything it can to marginalize and destroy the dissenting 20–30 percent, in part by manipulating the clueless 60 percent into believing that the 20–30 contingent are "right-wing radical fascists" who are trying to destroy the American polity. Thus the clueless stay clueless.
Still, remembering the situation of the first American Revolution, it was instigated, motivated, and ultimately carried to success because something like 25 percent of the colonial population had the temerity to insist that Americans, born free, refuse to live under tyranny.
I suspect these were better men than we typically have nowadays. An American future of liberty under law may very well depend on my being wrong about this.
