“We’re taught early on that one of democracy’s selling points is the ‘peaceful’ transfer of power. That ‘we the people’ shall each have a voice and are able to use it to elect our governing authorities. In fact, this superior system of government is so special, and the U.S. is such a shining example of its success, that America’s elites decided to take it on a road show. Well, at home, in the land of ‘free speech,’ several tools of war are being unleashed: drones & helicopters patrolling the skies, and at least one tank on the ground. Jail cells have been emptied and are waiting for new occupants. What event could possibly spark such a show of brute force?”
