How much more a fool's paradise is it when one says something can't happen even though it has happened multiple times before?

The times it has happened were either long ago, and not mentioned much in history class, or “that was different” and was aimed at small groups. For most people, it did not affect them personally.

I don't think most folks believe the “military” has gone against “citizens”. The National Guard has maybe put down some “hippies” or other riff-raff to “restore order”. But surely that could never happen to them. They are not hippies or riff-raff after all.

That is also why I love authoritarian “conservatives” who love government force so long at is used against “them”.
