I believe America and Britain will become tyrannical and I don't think we will do a god darn thing because none of us will see it coming or want to believe its happening until its too late. This constant seeding of mistrust is the greatest weapon our governments have because creating fear and suspicion allows old laws to be broken and new laws to be passed and with every new law we, the peasants, are a little bit more repressed. Who needs guns when propaganda and fear can allow our governments to snoop on our privacy, take away more and more of our rights and even our dignity?
Both of us live under a phoney democracy and the right to carry arms is just an illusion of freedom.
America and to a large extent, Britain too, already live under a tyranny otherwise in effect, as a debt-driven, consumption based economy and requiring a competition among consumers to consume and labor, for the jobs to pay for it.
As I've written, changing presidents changes the direction of a country about as much as changing the hood ornament on a car changes its direction. Presidents kiss babies and shakes hands and otherwise do what they are told. (to stay alive)
People are scientifically driven to a very successful partisan wrangling over policies that are out of the control of the govt. OR they are lied to enough with the big lie, to go along complete with calling dissenters...traitors. That last has worked for every assumption of dictatorship throughout history.
Now if the American people really think that with their guns, they could successfully say, ward off, even defeat a US federal declaration of Marshall law, they are sorely mistaken. In fact, as exemplified during the Rodney King riots, the aftermath of Katrina and the Boston Marathon fiasco, govt. would rule the US population in quick order.
For example, almost all presidential candidates on the right are pushing for tax cuts. If accomplished and as usual, without widespread cut in spending, will expand govt. and consumer debt, even more. It is very possible that the world (et al) will stop lending Americans the money to satisfy all of the hands out. It is merely more of that partisan wrangling that will label just who those hands belong to.
As I've written. The US may have, may have about one more generation of this bullshit before [we] are cut off. (the Chinese make me laugh when they claim they will repossess America) Lenders to the US will either collect their debt or sell it. There are no other alternatives. When they sell it, they take a huge loss.
When we see that, it's time to worry. When one looks at starting with the last 35 years when the US was quite deliberately taken into a massive debt-driven expansion of consumerism and military-driven hegemony, it was the slow beginning of the end. This transformation is called the long game and it is going along just fine.
Oh, so the idea that racism, conservatism, and Low I.Q. or anything of the sort, going hand in hand with anything, is just another example of that partisan wrangling and serves as a vast cultural distraction. And it's working.
