Now that would be insufferable. As for the other scenarios: aside from the things a foreign power or terrorist group (China/Russia/Radical Islam) might do to us, I cannot quite believe the Progressive-led Democrats would be willing to go so far in pursuit of total power. Even if they were that crazy, the risks to them would be enormous.
Progressive-Led Democrats may not be that crazy. I don’t know. But Radical Left in loose alignment with Radical Islamists or narco-regimes or other hard-core enemies might. (There’s certainly little to keep the Iranians or North Koreans from pulling something.) And then at the bottom of the barrell, the people behind Soros who is himself perfectly content to start his fortune selling goods (probably including gold and silver from teeth) stolen from Jews shipped off to the camps. Risk? You bet. Insane and despicable? Yep. When has that ever stopped certain low-lifes in this world? And speaking of communists (the romantic port of call for Obama and his czars), how about the Khmer Rouge butcher shop or the Red Chinese machine gunning unarmed students in Tiananment Square? Or Obama’s “Religion of Peace” buddies using a steak knife to cut off Mr. Pearl’s head for our entertainment on video. Point is: how much are we willing to trust people like that? I was responding to a poster who doubted that anything sufficiently provocative could occur to justify imposition of a total Obamanist crackdown. Frankly, if you lack any decency and if your ideological fanaticism doesn’t keep you from bankrukpting the U.S. economy and encouraging Veterans to resort to Physician Assisted Suicide — it wouldn’t be all that hard.
