    All of these “inevitable” thresholds being crossed are picking up incredible speed though. At this rate they will have the civil war they’re clearly trying to create in less than a full year tops.

      They don’t want a civil war; that’s just the next best thing for them. What they really want is uncontested fascist rule, and unless Americans grow some spine fast they’ll get it.

        Oh absolutely; either everyone takes what they dole out lying down, in which case they get their fully fascist state, or people fight back and give them a reason to enact martial law, leading to the same outcome.

            What i always wonder happens in these scenarios though… what happens next? Let’s say the gov is brought to it’s knees by the 3.5%. Who takes charge then? How is it determined?

              Have you read Animal Farm? That. Is it conceivable that someday a people’s revolution would turn out otherwise? Sure. But I don’t see the American people as being the ones to pull it off.
