Yes.

If the google statistics are correct, then there are about 3 million people who work for the US government.
There are about 300 million people living in the USA. Despite the military being part of the federal government, the majority will always be loyal to the American people, not the bureaucrats in DC. Couple that with 70 million or more police officers who are well trained, as well as about 40 million retired military, we have the numbers, the training and the power to take back the country. Thing is, we need to wait for the real attack to happen first.

In your opinion. how bad would it need to get? Biden advised Trudeau to use more government force on the peaceful protesters. I'm sure Joey agrees that they are terrorists. It's all about power and control. They don't give a crap about the people.

The only response that the liberal members of this forum have is to attack Tucker Carlson.

What did you have in mind? Pouting and stamping feet?

Clearly, the truck drivers protesting in Canada were in the minority. They did "something", yet not everyone agreed with them. Isn't democracy wonderful?

I saw that movie. It didn't end well for the seditionists.

So much for the Constitution, eh? I guess all the right wing isn't as patriotic as they paint themselves to be.

OP, thanks for posting the video. Ignore the lefties who spout hate here. Tucker has matured nicely in the last few years and now speaks his mind forcefully without being hysterical or overbearing.

As for the main question, we are unfortunately very close to tyranny, but not quite there yet. Canada was always more socialist than the US, and they show us how easy it is to invoke some emergency law and stifle the opposition. I suspect Trudeau has bitten more than he could chew and will be gone in short order. When even the left-wing publications like the NYT criticize his methods, the Canadians will soon grasp how close they've come to the concentration camps and other attributes of fascism.

Unfortunately, this seems to be all part of the Chinese plan to destabilize the Western democracies. Those who study history know that the extremists always try to push the moderate governments to take extreme measures against them. The population becomes abhorred and allows itself to be lied to by the extremists. This has happened with the Bolsheviks, with Hitler, you name it. So by unleashing Covid on the world and using their puppets within the Western governments (see: Fauci, Anthony) they pushed us to extreme measures to "combat" it. Australia, anyone?

Fortunately, Trudeau, Biden, and their ilk seem to have overplayed their hand. Thanks to the videos like the OP posted, even the Democrats now start to realize that the assault on liberty has gone too far. Tomorrow it could be their liberty.

I agree here.

Sometimes I am so surprised by him, as in "is it the same man that few years ago made me yawn?"

Why, oh why, are you watching Tucker Carlson?

“Now comes the claim that you can't expect to literally believe the words that come out of Carlson's mouth. And that assertion is not coming from Carlson's critics. It's being made by a federal judge: "Fox persuasively argues, that given Mr. Carlson's reputation, any reasonable viewer 'arrive[s] with an appropriate amount of skepticism' about the statement he makes."

We had an attack, Jan 6, 2021, albeit a weak one. The military pledges allegiance to the Constitution, which is why Trump’s pitiful attempt to establish a dictatorship was doomed to fail, regardless of what Mike Pence did.

We see not living on a dictatorship. The left would love for it to be so but it isn’t.

See, you bring up CNN as if I give a damn about CNN.

It’s corporate news. Like Fox. They all work for the same interests. Just compete for which side gets to control our opinion. Fox is just more blatant about what it does.

CNN despite being seen as ‘leftist’ still manufactured consent for war when it came to Iraq. Doesn’t touch on real issues either if it is detrimental to it’s sponsors.

Your getting mad at one branch while holding onto another branch of the same exact tree.
Very perceptive post. I’ve often said that, Fox and CNN are just businesses catering to their respective audiences. I don’t know that Tucker Carlson or Don Lemon even believe the things they say. It’s just a product they are selling.
