Not "reflective". The people in power in this administration were those in the streets in the '60s and '70s. This is their last chance at destroying the America that they hate. Problem is, they didn't get our guns.

It's my experience that they have acolytes (aka useful idiots) at many levels. These fly under the radar because they may not have a nationally-heard mouthpiece. They can be detected but, to some, it takes more work than just collecting widely-published writings or articles on the internet.
These people are on city councils, or are Chamber of Commerce advisors to local gov't. Peruse the minutes of these meetings & you can often find who thinks that the solution to a topic is another ordinance (while the police chief rolls his eyes & wonders who's enforcing this idiot's notion). Their view is that power is consolidated at the gov't level and is the wellspring of all solutions. Look at their district makeup as well - that's who (theoretically) put them in office. To get the actual gist of how they think you have to take one for the team (yours) & attend these meetings.
You can also peruse the local papers to see who is writing what about what and how often. They may not aspire to higher positions of authority because they want to remain where they're comfortable. But both of these types are useul to the ones further up their food-chain.

I would like to think that this mainly a federal issue. But take a look at some local school boards, teacher's unions, some county admins, Soros funded DAs, and large academic institutions, non-profits, NGOs, and upper management of many large corporations.
The only local institution that seems relatively untouched are the Sheriff departments. God help us when they get infiltrated. IMHO that will be the demarcation line for "When in the course of human events..."

I'd go so far as to include HOAs. I've never lived under one, but the description of those I know who do seem to indicate that these are the breeding grounds of the petty dictators of tomorrow. And their subjects!

Yep...put people in positions of "power", and their true nature immediately begins to reveal itself. At this point in life, I believe *all* politics start at the local level in some way and their base helps push them up the chain.
I always like to make it a point to keep up with college newspapers. It revealed a lot of those that were up-and-coming politicians and their way of thinking.

They had institutionalized anti-whitism. Boy was I ever glad to go back to shinin' boots & breakin' starch in the morning; them people wuz kwazee.

The XO completely agrees. We are house hunting and the presence of a HOA is a non-starter. I'm lookin' for 10+ acres on which to build. She asks, will we have public water and sewer? Women folk, cain't live with 'em, cain't shoot 'em.

Women do like indoor plumbing.
My septic back up a couple of weeks ago and I spent 3 days digging, getting it pumped out, repairing and then refilled the hole.
The XO is happy now.

I agree with your analysis. The key is we are armed. Unlike the Soviet Union, China, Cambodia etc.
