The world, and especially the United States, today is in the biggest Orwellian nightmare of my lifetime, and neither a Republican senate nor Trump has done anything to stop it from happening. So I think it is time to stop thinking that politicians or parties can make a difference. Sure, we can vote, but that is highly unlikely to stop the unbelievable momentum we are seeing toward global scale tyranny.
We are currently living in socialist utopia. No one can travel outside the country, every single business in the country operates (or is closed down) under the iron thumb of bureaucracy, people cower in their homes, the economy is being flooded with money, money and more money. The only people who seem to be resisting are the kooks out on the street, and they are so misguided they protest because they think socialism is losing.
I say look around. Socialism has won. It is already over.
It wasn't the Democrats who voted to print $3-$5 trillion in new funny money, it was the Republicans. And they are prepared to do it again. It wasn't the Democrats who decided to shut down the economy and close the society, it was our Republican president. I used to think that I had property rights, but this shutdown has taught me otherwise. I now realize that a government that can take the other guy's restaurant, gym or beauty salon can also take my pension fund. Therefore, i really have no individual property rights except as conferred by the government. Therefore, our constitution is a myth, because all other rights fall from property rights.
That goes for freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, freedom of speech. They are all myths, as the last six months have made clear. Ironically, the only people in the country actually exercising their freedoms are the nutcakes protesting in the cities.
Make no mistake about it. Once government bureaucrats have this kind of power, they are not going to give it up easily. As I said, this is utopia to them. No one can leave the country. We are not burning carbon. They have complete power over every facet of life, including the power to shutdown the churches. You think anyone with this kind of power will give that up? Why, because they are Republicans? What a joke.
This is precisely the moment in history our founding fathers feared, and no one -- not the SCOTUS we fought so hard to protect, not the congress, not the president -- gives a flying fig about the Constitution of the United States.
No, what will happen next is very clear. Once the threat of the virus has passed, there will be new threats that will prevent the government from allowing us to go back to being "free." Global warming will be very high on that list. And the control will continue unabated. When the only insurgents are the ones rioting in the streets demanding an end to the rule of law and the instillation of socialist tyranny, you know we are in a very deep hole. But it is a hole we dug ourselves. That is the horrible truth.
The one thing I see in all of this is that elections do not matter. The relentless march of federal tyranny has continued unabated through my lifetime of 67 years, through both Republican and Democrat administrations. The only constant has been the government expanding its gorging like an out-of-control Jabba the Hutt.
Welcome to the future, friends. George Orwell would have been proud.
