All
my life, I have dismissed paranoids on the right ("America is headed to
communism") and the left ("It can happen here" -- referring to
fascism). It's not that I've ever believed liberty was guaranteed. Being
familiar with history and a pessimist regarding the human condition, I
never believed that.
But the ease with which police state tactics have been employed and the equal ease with which most Americans have accepted them have been breathtaking."
I know that there are always conspiracy-theory buffs and alarmists of all stripes shrieking that we are losing our liberties, but what Prager complains about above is truly alarming. Not only to Leftist governors and millions of Progressives enjoy and willingly participate in these despotic state lockdowns, but it shocks one to see the state of tyranny imposed by Governors, and how meekly and willingly the people yield their liberty and self-rule to central planning, willing to be dominated and enthralled.
