In reply to the discussion: The stuff of nightmares -- [View all]NullTuples
(6,017 posts)33. The trick is to remove rights before people realize it's been done and it's too late to turn back.
Keep them thinking they still have rights, far more than they actually do. And do it across a wide scattering of life aspects. That way it only affects individuals not groups. Except the "wrong" groups; they're attacked overtly but they are also "other" so again people don't see it affecting themselves.
We're nearly there, 2022 and '24 will be the crossing point, I believe. If the GOP maintains power they will have the pieces in place to do so indefinitely.
