Oppression knows no limits and we have more and more of the boiling frog syndrome. When you have a society with more and more police militarization, one really no longer has a society for the majority, but rather the minority, the oligarchs with control enforced by a police state. It is sad to see what the US is morphing into. The tensions in this country are growing by the day.

Any person(s) who does not go along with the current status quo; are not deemed acceptable by the puppeteers or fit the definition of "useful" peon/slave, will feel their wraith. As soon as you realize we are ALL being played one caste against the other and decide you have had enough of it; this force will also be used against you!

Too many Americans still have that childhood view that this democracy is working for all of us. As the oligarchs and sociopaths gain more and more control that democracy is fading. Just the fact that something like "Citizens United" was endorsed by the highest court of the land is stunning for a supposed democracy.
