The US government has lately seen and proved that the American people will tolerate almost any indignity -- some quite happily. A blatantly stolen election, BLM rioting and looting, eviction moratoriums, forced business closures, forced face diapering (even for children!), forced injections, straitened banking rules, travel restrictions, etc. I could go on and on.
The US government does NOT fear US citizens, because it knows everything we're doing and much of what we're thinking. It spies on us 24/7 -- internet activity, cell phone and license plate location tracking, reading our text messages and emails, auto-converting our telephone conversations to text and parsing them with AI, logging our purchases and financial transactions, etc.
The US government has ALL the power -- and gets willing help from every state and almost every local government; we the people have no power.
There will be no civil war. There will be no counter-revolution.
There will be much worship and adulation of of the US government and its armed forces on July 4 -- even in Vicksburg, Mississippi which after a long and vicious siege fell to the armed forces of the United States on July 4, 1863.
It spies on us 24/7 -- internet activity, cell phone and license plate location tracking, reading our text messages and emails, auto-converting our telephone conversations to text and parsing them with AI, logging our purchases and financial transactions, etc.
That is the good ole NSA. And, like all government agencies, are only here to help. :-/
