[Secret Agent Man]

And further, given the latest scotus ruling with cops being able to deny your rights if they “reasonably” misunderstand the laws,

things are not boding well for citizens of the USA.

They are running out of time and they are setting up laws to make everyone criminals. They can’t catch the law-abiding because they don’t break the laws, so they make laws that are impossible not to break, or allow the cops to break the laws without punishment (but will crucify the citizens if they break them).

This country is tyrannical. And getting worse. I don’t want republicans in charge because they just want to be a different flavor of tyrant than the democrat tyrants. I want conservatives - and particularly Christian conservatives who know they have to account to God how they use their power - in charge.

[Irenic]

This country is tyrannical.

Yes.

I want conservatives - and particularly Christian conservatives who know they have to account to God how they use their power - in charge.

Amen!

Unless they know they are accountable, then they are unaccountable!

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” ― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
