Imagine if Only One Political Philosophy Gained Absolute Unopposed authority over America
Imagine if it was a mere few decades ago. A time when the political pendulum swung between conservative Republicans and liberal Democrats. Within both parties, a few extremists existed but basically had little pull over the party’s popularity or policy positions. Imagine that, if any extreme position was attempted, the natural order of a critical media and public outcry stopped it in its tracks thus moderating the country’s path and maintaining the basic attributes of a free constitutional republic.
Such a world is easy to imagine because it was the world that actually existed, again, not very long ago.
Imagine back then that you were told that a few decades in the future one political party would actively seek to eliminate its opposition and implement truly extreme alterations in the very fabric of America’s system of government. Imagine that a free press has become a radically partisan mouthpiece to the ruling party’s objectives and openly sought to muzzle any views that strayed from state authority.
Imagine that a massive apparatus of state was actively allied with a party and began purging worldviews that strayed from the dogma of one political ideology, that even the military was being culled of diverse voices, philosophies, and even conventional religious belief.
Imagine SWAT teams sent the homes of opposing political staff members to prosecute for bogus process “crimes.”
Image that traditional standards of stability were openly being mocked and assaulted by powerful interests allied with government. That family, religion, and values like responsibility, patriotism and hard work were being seen as “racist” and akin to Nazism and fascism.
Imagine that the American government used its authority to implement the values and goals of powerful and wealthy international institutions that openly expressed a goal of world government closely modeled on the systems of Soviet Russia and Maoist China — with the added scheme of high tech surveillance and an open desire to “reduce the world’s population.” Imagine being told that the age of abundance was over and your family would have to succumb to a dark era of mere subsistence, and government policy was being directed to that end.
…When an individual is on the border of insanity and self destructiveness, the boundaries between imagination and reality become blurred. When the things one could once only imagine become your tangible reality, you are leaving a world of tangible observation and common sense. Some may think we have entered a dream. More astute observation knows we have entered a nightmare. When twenty to thirty percent of the population can dictate the fate of the majority, the majority better wake up.
