Yes. We have been headed towards tyranny for a long time.
But the people who tried to point it out were drowned out in a chorus of jeers of “kook” and “crazy”. Even around here, it was common to point out how government was abusing its power and people would shrug and assume growing government was fine because it would never be used against them, but just against the people they considered “bad people.”
You grew the beast. It’s just poetic justice when it turns on you.

Well said. Worth repeating.
Agree 100%.
A lib friend was visiting a couple of weeks ago, very little politics gets discussed because she goes ballistic immediately.
However, when the subject of my silver bullion came up, I pointed out that there is no record of my purchases because I’m not letting it be confiscated. She laughed at me. I then pointed out that her hero FDR did just that & asked why did she think it couldn’t happen again. Well, I was accused of paranoia and told that “we’ve grown since then, no way it could happen”.
Ha, bloody ha. Useful idiots indeed. We are outnumbered by them.
