America’s strongest bulwark for the preservation of our most cherished liberties, embodied in the Constitution, has been neatly bypassed. The forces of collectivism, socialism and tyranny, uniquely American versions of Marxism and progressive dictatorship, moved swiftly through an undefended gap.
…
That gap was a wildly and deliberately exaggerated health crisis. A swift expansion of government power into areas totally outside of its legitimate mandate followed. The rule of law was replaced by the arbitrary decrees of highly dubious “experts” and power-hungry politicians.
…
These people are deeply hostile to religion, to the free market system, to conservative moral and social values. They despise the common and ordinary people whom they consider to be in need of direction and discipline from above.
…
It remains to be seen how far they will be able to go. It may very well be that the 20th-century experiences of China, Russia, Cambodia and Germany will turn out to be more relevant to us than anyone could have dreamed even a short decade ago. Such recollections may provoke a sufficient counter-reaction, once enough Americans realize the danger they are in. And more and more are waking up to that danger.
