I left. And the country I moved to has lurched even further into the realm of "authoritarian police state" than the US.

I'm of the opinion that all Western governments are headed down this path, inevitably. It's going to take a lot of violence and bloodshed (read: murdering the rich in their sleep) to "fix" this.

I'm a realistic person. That's what it usually takes to fix these situations.

Pick up a history book.
