Unfortunately I must agree with you. Such a "leader" will arise. He will be very charismatic and will rule with an iron fist. He will control, or attempt to control absolutely every aspect of our lives. He will promise ever lasting peace and plenty for all. He will be a liar.

As economic conditions get worse (and they will), American citizens will have less and less faith in the "system", and see both major parties as relics of a bygone era, which of course they are. Eventually we will find our Putin or our Franco, at the cost of those who are stuck in the past. Since everything is cyclical, it won't last forever, but it's needed now!
Yet I consider mad max the more likely of the two.

On the other side, there are millions of people, who don't want that to happen... ahh well...as viewed from this perspective, these hundred people must be the manifestation of hell, with all demons and magical powers, or why wouldn't you show some cohones and just say no, instead of obeying and letting it happen. You people would all deserve what is happening. NOBODY CAN BE SO BLIND AND DUMB...
what when they do this and this
we wouldn't let them do this...
I can't see a problem. Or do you think they'll throw atom bombs on civilians in their own country... come on, man..... use ur brains.. it won't ache

Thats the only two outcomes...star trek, or mad max..and nothing said will matter. like a raindrop arguing which form to take, liquid or snowflake solid...the end result will be it splats on the ground somewhere no matter how much it resists.

There is only one system that works, freedom.
