Nobody Ever Expects Authoritarian Imposition!

The Monty Python boys, dressed in red frocks, once irreverently boasted, "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! ... Amongst our chief weapons are such diverse elements as fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency, and an almost fanatical devotion to the pope!" If you switch "pope" to "woke" and the "Spanish Inquisition" to "Authoritarian Imposition," I think that old comedy sketch nails our present situation in America pretty well.

Consider how our D.C. despots, with their stern expressions of disapproval and general sense of entitlement, have responded to 75 million Trump voters who insist on auditing the 2020 election. Have they done so with transparency, calm reason, compassion for those governed, and steadfast respect for the rule of law? Nope. They've decided to defend tyranny in the name of liberty and protect self-government by denying the people their chance to consent. They've embraced Monty Python levels of absurdity by pretending free people can be free only if the authorities say so.

Questioning the legitimacy of an election is treason! (Fear)
To "protect democracy," some people must be imprisoned for their political beliefs!
To "protect democracy," some people must be imprisoned for their political beliefs!(ruthless efficiency)

Patriotic Americans are enemies of the state because Antifa and BLM say so! (fanatical devotion to the woke)

Aristotle warned that "republics decline into democracies and democracies degenerate into despotisms." The U.S. government seems intent on proving that observation true. A legislature can trample a people's rights just as easily as can a king, especially when it has learned to hide its despotism behind deceptive language. "Social justice" sure is a nice way of saying some people must be punished for the color of their skin, and "racial equity" (the government's decree that powerless proles, regardless of talents or work ethic,

Everybody, except conservatives.

We know what liberals want to do.

Further into this article, the author demands, “We want our young men back.” Those are the thousands of dead ones who fought in World War II and since to preserve American freedom only for us to see communists and tyrants take over America today.

My question to today’s American military officers and soldiers is, “Why are you fighting to defend American communists who have taken charge in America?”

Today’s military is NOT fighting to preserve and protect the U.S. Constitution because it is being trampled right before our eyes while the military keeps aggressively training for war (with whom?) and acts as if everything is just fine.

America is becoming more and more lawless, no longer protects it borders and is breeding hatred of white people.

Is this what our fathers fought, bled and died to see happen?

Does the military still have any moral compass or commitment to their oaths left?

Is there any sanity left in the military?

Who are they NOW training to defeat in battle? American patriots?

It is the normalcy bias of the useful idiots.
