The New American Stasi
Well, the simplest mechanisms are either simplest short term one of all, that is, do it our way or we come and kill you and your whole family, or the simplest long term one, we control all food distribution and you and your family can't have any. (Works especially well in countries with long, tough winters, Stalin used in very effectively in the Ukraine.) But if you're "nonviolent" (more or less), then what works just as well is in effect oppression by very public shaming, encouragement of others to harass at every opportunity, and whatever economics you can bring to bear, making people lose their jobs or have their businesses go bankrupt or go bankrupt through lots of court costs. Plus of course, terming anything the people say whom you don't like as "hate speech" and then joyously denying them Free Speech. And we're certainly seeing that going on a lot these past three years. Funny, I don't recall any of this going on against Liberals when Obama was in office and lots of Conservatives were pretty upset about it. But I do think the ground swell has started, more and more people have reached total saturation with the lies, the circuses, the viciousness. We'll see how this plays out in November. --Del
