“It could happen here.”
I breezily mentioned to my husband yesterday that I wish 5 million patriotic Americans would show up in D.C. on the 4th. Without missing a beat, my husband retorted, “We’d probably get shot.”
I’m 57, nearly 58, and for the first time in my life, I feel fear of my own government and president—a brand new emotion that I still don’t know how to handle. Thinking about tyranny has heretofore been strictly a theoretical exercise.
The emotion I feel is not Feat but Anger!
Welcome.

I know exactly what you mean. You know what that if we fear our government, we have already submitted to tyranny. They are supposed to fear us.
“When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.”

It can only be assumed that you mean that you fear death. There is a cure for that. It frees one to be the resistance. I am the resistance.
