This Is How It Begins: The Deep State Wants to Terminate the Constitution. This is how it always begins, justified in the name of national security. We’ve allowed ourselves to be seduced by the false siren song of politicians promising safety in exchange for relinquished freedom. We placed our trust in political saviors and failed to ask questions to hold our representatives accountable to abiding by the Constitution. We looked the other way and made excuses while the government amassed an amazing amount of power over us, and backed up that power-grab with a terrifying amount of military might and weaponry, and got the courts to sanction their actions every step of the way. We chose to let partisan politics divide us and turn us into easy targets for the government’s oppression. https://www.rutherford.org/publications_resources/john_whiteheads_commentary/this_is_how_it_begins_the_deep_state_wants_to_terminate_the_constitution
