Better late than never I suppose. I just hope more people realize that the foundation for what Trump is doing was built a long time ago.
Where were the massive protests when the Government increased it's power exponentially during every other administration?
Now people care about the constitution and due process all of a sudden?
Some people tried to warn us about what the Government could do one day with the power it was being given. Piece by piece our 4th amendment was destroyed through various abuses that became sanctioned by the courts, including DUI check points, drug dogs, the third party doctine, the Patriot Act, and more. To protect themselves from any possible armed resistance to their tyranny, they simultaneously eviscerated the 2nd Amendment as well.
Not many people cared or listened and dismissed the warnings as "conspiracy theories" by anti government kooks. They said the Government had to violate our constitutional rights to protect us from drugs and terrorists.
Now we are a few steps away from an AI powered dystopian surveillance state nightmare. The actions being taken against immigrants and the domestic military deployments are a test of their power. They are ok with these tests going all the way to Supreme Court because the Supreme Court is currently stacked with very authoritarian leaning judges. Once the 9 high priests give their blessing to some of these abuses of state power, we are cooked.
These people really think that if we just elect a Democrat next time, we will be magically saved and our freedom restored.
We need something different, not another corrupt Republican or Democrat, but an entirely new system in which no one is in charge. Not just no kings, but no rulers at all.
