That day has already come. From Jeff Thomas at internationalman.com:
In 1776, the Americans had a wonderful new idea for a republic in which each state (a common word for “country” in those days) would exist independently of the others, whilst a federal government would be in place to provide a few additional services, such as the creation of a common currency and joint protection from foreign invasion.
Unfortunately, those who sought to be all powerful were at work almost immediately, hoping to increase the power of the federal government to the point that the United States would be run as a conglomerate. By 1860, this had already reached the stage that the president denied the right of states to leave the Union.
The US later became the model for a new kind of empire. Until the 20th century, empires were often oppressive, with kings who ruled over a country and conquered other states. This was true right until the decline of the British Empire.
Since that time, the empire concept has not by any means gone away. It has just changed its marketing strategy. Today, the trend is toward collective unions patterned after the American model—the illusion that democracy is in full flower and that “the people” are in charge. This, of course, is Freedom in name alone. The propaganda soothes the more gullible of us into imagining that a modern empire is less oppressive than the empires of old.
The coming dictatorship is because the Marxist comrades are so unbearable?
The dictatorshit of the lumpen Chick-Fil-A hordes will be even worse with the chosen and Rapture Express 24-7.
Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel as the old saying goes.
Will it all happen before the Long Game of Western economic collapse completes?
Stay tuned.
