Americans used to believe in freedom.
Now Americans would need to be mentally ill to think tyranny wonât get worse.
Who would have thought in 1980 that the USA would soon have curfews, gun bans, NSA wiretapping, checkpoints, forfeiture, the end to the right to silence, free speech bans, torture, kill lists, no fly lists, searches without warrants, private prisons, mandatory minimums, 3 strikes laws, DNA databases, CISPA, SOPA, NDAA, IMBRA, FBAR, FATCA, TSA groping, secret FISA courts, and Jade Helm?
During the Wild West in the US, everyone could carry guns, businesses were not licensed, no one had Social Security numbers, there were no sales, income, or property taxes, and drugs, alcohol, smoking, gambling, and prostitution were legal.
There was little government, yet people lived and had freedom.

The government today is regulating every area of everyoneâs life.
The government wants to tell us what to do, what to think, where to live, how to live, what to wear, and what to eat. Saying you live in a free country with a straight face is difficult when everything is illegal.
How can anyone take the moral high ground on anything when we are all criminals?
In the US, your body is not your body, your property is not your property, and your kid is not your kid.
Government is not the solution to problems. Government IS the problem.
Alcohol prohibition failed. The Soviet Union failed.

Anyone who supports the police state is just a tool for the elites.
Too bad Americans are surrendering liberty so easily.
Why did the USA fight for freedom against the British, Hitler, and Saddam if America just ended up as a police state? All those American soldiers died in vain.
The elites are trying to weaken and divide Americans by race, gender, handicap, penalizing hard work, encouraging welfare use, and pushing immorality while using fear, terrorism, drugs, false flags, discrimination, hate speech, Russian propaganda, and fake news laws, and wars on cash to make Americans give up their free speech rights, religious freedom, guns, right to silence, privacy, property, right to trials, freedom from torture, and the freedom from extrajudicial assassination.

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Wake up.

Pass the word.
@dcjogger No.
You are.

Instead of ending regulations, working hard, moving, starting a business, or learning a skill, Americans swear that the only way to get rich is to have a government decree that increases the minimum wage.

Americans say a trade war is the only way to help the economy, but wouldn't tariffs drive up costs and kill exports? Couldn't Americans boycott imports? Don't US tariffs fund wars, welfare, debt, tyranny, and illegal aliens? Did a trade war help the USA recover from the Great Depression or did trade wars make the economy worse?
Americans swear guns must banned for safety, but didn't the US used to have a Bill of Rights? How can you protect yourself without a gun?
Americans say that the US must bomb Iran because Iran might make nuclear weapons, but doesn't the USA have nuclear bombs? Do wars lead to refugees, debt, tyranny, and terrorism?
Americans scream that the US debt doesn't need to be paid back, but how did debt work out for Rome?

Americans are just animals at this stage.
If the US could be a free country for 200 years then why does the USA need to suddenly become a police state?
Why did the US fight the British if Americans hate freedom?

Americans have become so batshit insane now that they think loving freedom means that you support raping kids.
Americans aren't angry that Americans are not allowed to carry guns around to protect themselves. Americans are outraged that people have guns.
Americans aren't outraged that regulations and trade wars have killed the economy, Americans can't stand that the US has immigrants.
Americans don't care if they must pay taxes that fund tyranny, debt, and wars, but Americans lose their minds that the homeless don't work.

Americans think that they know what is best for others, but are simply unable to understand that if you want your neighbor to remove his garden, your neighbor might want your driveway banned.
Do you feel like the US is a happy utopia now that styrofoam has been outlawed? Do you think tyranny has stopped? Do you honestly believe backpacks will never be banned?
Do you feel safer now that you live in a prison and have no rights?
Everyday Americans spit on the graves of US soldiers who died fighting for freedom.
Everyday Americans shit on the Bill of Rights.
Americans do not have the mental capacity to recognize hypocrisy, do not know history, and are completely unable to comprehend the meaning of unintended consequences.
Americans say North Koreans are monsters for using torture and having nuclear weapons, but then Americans turn around and insist that the US can take the moral high ground for torturing and having nuclear bombs.
Americans scream Trump is a holy god for supporting wars, debt, tyranny, but Obama was evil for defending wars, debt, and the police state.
Americans do not realize that tyranny spreads out from the US to other countries and down to to states, counties, and cities. Americans cannot see that if toothpicks are banned in California today, toothpicks might be outlawed in Kansas tomorrow.
The USA feel like it is committing suicide.
Do Americans understand that force is not the only possible answer to solving problems?
Do Americans who hate liberty feel like traitors?
Americans say that they hate the elites, but then Americans turn around and embrace every insane decree, debt increase, and war the globalists are pushing.
When a country is collapsing into madness, the most rational action for any sane person is to leave.
Disgusting and shameful.
Do Americans realize that tyranny grows and never stops?
Why would the elites restore the Bill of Rights, end the wars, and reduce the debt if the ruling class has crossed every line and Americans don't care?
Will Americans regret remaining silent when they get sent to the concentration camps?
Burn it down. Burn it to the ground.
