How to breed a Domestic Terrorist (or American Patriot)
How to breed a Domestic Terrorist (or American Patriot)
1. As a federal government agent lie to the American people.
2. As a federal government agent, abuse your authority for your own personal or political agenda.
3. As a federal government agent force other working under you to lie and abuse their authority.
4. As a federal government agent conspire with other government agencies to abuse their authority.
5. As a federal government agent plead the 5th when caught.
This is how you turn the American people against a sitting government. Soon someone is going to say enough is enough....

Does perception not have just as much power as reality?
I can see a governments downfall caused by a great perception just as much as a reality. Its whatever the people believe. True believers can do anything. Good or bad.

The way I see it, put end the extremely corrupt political games or expect a bullet to the head, especially when the DOJ refuses to prosecute the real criminals.

They are more than bright enough to manipulate the majority of the proletariat. How else do you think they gain and retain power?

You only have to be bright enough to convince your backers that you can fool 51% of the voters...
...and 47% are already in the tank if you promise them something free.
No sir, politicians aren't intelligent, they are educated and saavy.
Big difference

Many are master manipulators and have the characteristics of a chameleon who can change their "colors" depending on who they are talking with at the time.

Usually diagnosed as a Sociopath - one of the "rules for thee, not for me" crowd.

Unfortunately, they would exempt themselves from such actions.
