Back in the day when we trusted our government, when the government didn’t resent criticism and didn’t try to prosecute and persecute honest citizens, when it didn’t consider dissent to be treason, and lying and fraud wasn’t its stock in trade, people died in accidents and that was all it was. Now, there is always doubt, and one wonders if the victim had the wrong politics or crossed the wrong agency. You can never be quite sure. How did we get here? And where will it end?
Where've you been? They aren't trying anything. They're doing it. They've railroaded legitimate Jan 6 protesters who are now languishing in prison. They're shutting down legitimate FFL dealers simply because biden doesn't want anybody to own guns except his personal security. Etc. Ad infinitum.
“Back in the day when we trusted our government”
we were fools.
Most of us are older and wiser now.
