They're pushing for it, don't be surprised when it happens.
They're going to push us until we break, and then act like we're the animals when they've caged us. Vote in your local elections. Find these fuckers on the streets and call them out. Make them scared to take a shit at their local organic grocery chain.
Unfortunately the result will be martial law and excuses to consolidate power. Making you mad enough to act out violently is part of the plan to take away pesky things like elections.
Thats happening regardless. Your rights already have an expiration date. Whatever perceived loses you may incur, have already been lost. The only question worth asking is are we goong to kill fascism in the cradle or allow it a place in our society? Its that serious.
I'm not disagreeing with you, but I'm pointing out that this is part of their plan and you need to think of an unexpected, outside the box solution to remove the threat.
I dont think this requires extraordinary thinking. I think it requires unity and resolve. The trick isn't thinking of some as-of-yet untried third angle. The trick is to sew together a house divided and point their anger at the 4,000 or so oligarchs reigning in terror.
The extraordinary thinking is needed for finding a way to amass unity and resolve, especially when the owners of the tools to deliver messages to the masses carefully control the messages getting to them, up to and including neutering the tools when they become too much of a threat to their power (i.e. Twitter)
