“… America, however, is perfectly capable of collecting taxes, surveilling its citizens, and fighting a proxy war against a nuclear-armed opponent in order to maintain a global empire. The destruction of rule of law by our leadership class does not seem to be a product of general incompetence, but a specifically engineered outcome designed to terrorize the average citizen….”

This pretty well defines our current national leadership’s methodology and objectives.
This is not just federal, this has trickled down to state and local levels of government. In Hillsborough County, FL requests for assistance with apprehending those guilty of trespass and property rights violations are met with stony silence from law enforcement, prosecuting attorneys, county commissions, and code enforcement agencies. The rot is extremely deep. Homeowners associations now no longer enforce deed restrictions making it open season for whomever wants to create mayhem on or damage to your property with a complete lack of concern for any consequences attendant to them as a result of actions taken in hatred and anger. Littering as a political act is rampant with private home subdivisions targeted exclusively. The legislatures and complicit liberal county and state justices together have reduced the seriousness of crimes from felonies down to 4th degree misdemeanors. And every malfeasor knows about it. “Law enforcement” is now an anachronism in America’s cities and neighborhoods.
