With the last 6 years, now I understand more how communist countries get to where they're at or how dictators take power.. Granted many have always been this way, but the basic principal is that the people don't know any better. There are perfect examples seen everyday and even on here.
1) We have seen with COVID how the government can take freedoms away and control information to make those who don't know how to think for themselves. Even when all logic tells you something else, still they don't see it. Then add in the ratting out their neighbors cause they were gathering or not keeping 6 feet distance.
2) Trump and all the investigations, same as above, we have seen the government control information and control those who don't know how to think for themselves.
3) Trump, now we're seeing more that anyone who works for him, helps him, friends, etc...are also targeted by the government so no one will want to join him.
4) Anti 2a orgs aid the government to take guns away, this is key when doing the final step to taking other freedoms away.
These are things that added together doesn't put America down a good path.
