You're entitled to your definition of tyranny. But the reality is that calling someone a tyrant has no consequences in NYC, whereas calling Hitler a tyrant in Nazi Germany would have resulted in arrest, torture and perhaps execution. And that's the difference between actual tyranny and a pale facsimile of the real thing - it's sort of like the difference between terminal cancer and a paper cut.
I repeat, you have a very high, unhealthy, and unadmirable tolerance for tyranny.
Apparently, the 4th amendment and the 2nd amendment are expendable for you, because “real rights” aren’t being violated. When Canada imprisons a person for speaking against homosexuals, I’m sure you aren’t troubled at that little “paper cut” in a democratic society. I’m fairly certain that the restrictions that have been put on religious freedom by Obamacare don’t trouble you much, as “we get to vote”, so its not really oppression.
Until you have the guts to actually oppose tyranny, you won’t be arrested for resisting it; thus, in your world, tyranny won’t exist.
I might be able to tolerate your position if it weren’t for your whole-hearted willingness to back your little tyrants. I have zero respect for your position on this, as you have zero respect for the natural rights of mankind.
Free people don’t refer to having their persons searched without a warrant, nor probable cause, to be a “paper cut”.
There is term to describe your point of view on accepting such tyranny in the hope of safety and acceptance, it is “Quisling”.
