My 23-year-old calls it the gov’t’s 4 “D’s” to seize power over the populace - jeep the people:
Dependent
Drugged
Dumbed-down
Disarmed
Just wonderful when our kids grow up and don’t become mindless drones. I like it! It’s a bright light. I told my kids if I saw them taking a dump on a police car... I would whip their grown behinds. They rolled their eyes... Then I told them.. No frozen peanut butter pies at thanksgiving.. Now we are talking common sense politics.. Even Reagan. Just kidding about the first part.. They rolled their eyes because they wouldn’t dream of it... And knew I would do it.
