For instance, 20 percent of Americans are very concerned that they or a family member could be a victim of a terrorist attack, up from 10 percent in 2013," said Trevor Tompson, director of The AP-NORC Center.

We have a paramilitarized police, equipped with military hardware, to put down local faction.

We have a panopticon of surveillance, that apparently the majority are buying into.


The next is a charismatic leader to convince 5% of the population, mostly police and military to follow them.


Welcome to Fascism, which unlike F. A. Hayek's perversion, will come from a conservative source.
