This is called "Tyranny" and is the classic definition.
America has been over for quite a while. This is the first of the rachet-up measures.
The next ones are:
1) Prosecution for political speech that is not 'approved'.
2) Imprisonment for political action that is not 'approved'.
4) Confiscation of property, or forced-relocation of people who are considered 'opposition'.
5) Denial of guaranteed liberties of people who are considered 'opposition'.
6) Murder of families and individuals who are considered 'opposition'. The murder can be direct, or indirect (such as orchestrated food-shortages).
This game has been played a hundred times in history, and will be played here in America next.
Any attempt at organized resistance would be futile, given the government's surveillance capabilities. On the other hand, no populace in the history mankind has been as well armed as the American people.
So, how does this go down when a time of action arrives?
When tyranny comes the Marxist/fascist/Progs won't be using cattle cars. No. no.
Instead, it will be big yellow school buses and the sheeple will willingly and docilely board them just as their socialist-entitlement and collectivist K-12 schools trained them to do.
