from BATR:
Whoever is inaugurated in January will become the nominal head of a failing government. It is buried under promises it can’t keep and debasing its currency to devalue its debt. Well over half the people it governs despise it. Its confederated empire falters as much of the world rejects its hypocritical “rules-based order.” The military is incompetent and dangerous; a war-making operation that showers defense contractors, politicians, bureaucrats, and revolving-door brass with trillions of dollars.
At home, no significant facet of life remains untouched by the incompetent and corrupt hand of government. The ruled are legally responsible for following hundreds of thousands of laws and regulations that the rulers violate with impunity. Trillions are showered on those who produce nothing, and those from whom the trillions are stolen are presented with a protection racket: pay or else. Millions of the former have been invited into the country; the latter foot that bill, too.

The virtuous are penalized for their virtues. The alternative media criticizes and mocks power and exposes its depredations—power tries to censor it. Millions own firearms to protect themselves from tyranny—power tries to confiscate them. Everyone is surveilled and many are unjustly persecuted. Censorship, confiscation, surveillance, and persecution are desperate last resorts before our rulers either raise the white flag or their citadels are overrun.
