Most Republicans dismiss it as 'crazy talk'.
They may be crazy but they're also serious.
They will destroy any institution to seize power.
I think they are serious about that “register everyone at 18” comment.
I also think that given the opportunity they will require proof of having voted in order to qualify for welfare, student aid, or any other gimmedat program.
Getting their supporters off the couch means that we never win another election.
“Democrats are always telling us what they have planned. Most Republicans dismiss it as ‘crazy talk’. They may be crazy but they’re also serious. They will destroy any institution to seize power.”
While I cannot go back into the minds of people from decades ago, I suspect that most Jews in Germany figured: “Oh there goes that silly Hitler guy looking for votes”, and when warned by the Jews who actually did understand Hitler, they looked at them the same way my dog looks at me when I try to speak Cantonese to her.
Probably the same for Russians just prior to their 1917 ‘liberation’, and Cambodians prior to their 1975 ‘liberation’. “Oh please”, they thought, “It can’t be that bad, it’s not like foreigners are taking over”.
Above are examples of “Normalcy Bias” as us preppers call it. It goes like this: “Since it has never happened in the past, it can’t happen in the future.” And while the United States did have a very bloody civil war, those issues are now settled, so it cannot happen again.
...until it does.
