(18,124 posts)it is no stretch to imagine it happening again. The MIC is the real power behind the throne. I don't care whether you believe it or not. And even with knowing how corrupt our system of 'democracy' is, yes, I'm going to vote on principle and nothing else. This 'democracy' is verging on a banana republic. SCOTUS corrupt, police departments nationwide filled with corrupt murderers, in our vaunted Congress money determines the laws that are passed or not. At one time americans had a chance to change the direction of this country and we tried. Then BAM!!!! Reagan and nancy ascended the throne and we were done as a democracy. You can pretend to not see the writing on the wall, yet realize not everyone tries escape or deny the reality of what this country stands for now.
Per your last description of a scenario describing this country. No, they don't get rounded up and carted away in the night here, they are just shot down in the street and left there for hours for walking in that street or they are slapped on the wrist for a "melee" involving looting and rioting at some 'pumpkin festival'. Just to name a couple of examples, recently. Your choice.
I live in the real world and have been all my life. Good luck.
