I keep thinking about all the tv shows that have acclimated people to seeing the jackboot thugs breaking down doors. Of course, they are always the heros and there is always a clear and evil criminal. And leftist HollyScum has helped train us for the police state too.
Absolutely. I live in a rural area, and the nearest town (20 min) of 50K has CCTV on every light. I’m sure paid for by “Federal” tax dollars. The media was not only complicit, but the useful idiot in this campaign. As Yuri Bezmenov warned, the complicit media helping the totalitarian rise to power will be “squashed like a bug” (as he put it), by the very thugs they adored and fawned over. Sickening.
