Well sure, we'll just fight back
Fight after we vote to disempower ourselves one more time

No. Wrong. First, there is no WE. Second the soldiers are permitted to repress. Third there is no off ramp from Totalitarianism today. Reasonably it was too late when FDR was 52 and dressed like Caesar at his birthday party. Far too late today given Trump v. Biden.
Americans sold themselves for 40 years of porridge and it is no longer edible and electricity is expensive and most food poisoned. They do not know what to do except vote. Help themselves no. Hold political people responsible no. Fret yes, fume probably, fear down down deep for sure, but
You have many contacts among the lumberjacks
To get you facts when someone attacks your imagination
But nobody has any respect
Anyway, they already expect you
To all give a check to tax-deductible charity organizations
Ah, you've been with the professors
And they've all liked your looks
With great lawyers, you have discussed lepers and crooks
You've been through all of F. Scott Fitzgerald's books
You're very well read, it's well known
But something is happening here
And ya don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
It's funny, with how many the Clintons/CIA etc. have disposed of, and how many the crown and Isreal have disposed of, that so many still think that Trump has 'foiled' all these attempts to bring him down. If they wanted or needed him ded, he would be quite ded by now. And yet he lives.....and I laugh.
Nice juxtaposition to Dylan's lyrics. I actually liked the Brownstone article. In truth, I believe he's saying what you are saying. I agree with him. Those left will fight. I agree with you...totalitarianism has triumphed. Why be bitter? Our story is simply the same old story which has replayed again and again. Those of us who grew up in the naïvé 60s & 70s didn't sell anything; we had no clue. You must admit the advent of the internet has opened vistas for the common person unlike anything previously in our history.
I've always liked this poetic stanza from Dylan which summarizes why we are here today:
Oh, God said to Abraham, “Kill me a son”
Abe said, “Man, you must be puttin' me on”
God say, “No.”
Abe say, “What?”
God say, “You can do what you want, Abe, but
The next time you see me comin' you better run”
Well, Abe said, “Where you want this killin' done?"
God said, “Out on Highway 61”
The sooner we exit this era of the Christian-Islamic-Judaic God of Terrible Wrath, the sooner we'll begin a new age. I include the self-professed or otherwise "atheist" who represents the inversion of this Wrathful God. The atheist, unbeknown to themselves, actually believes in the core values of the Wrathful God. You see evidence in their thoughts, words, and deeds. They war just as much against their enemies as the Christians, Muslims, and Jews. They're all cast from the same dye. This is the meaning of "being two sides of the same coin." "Enlightenment" or "awakening" is simply when the individual realizes the two sides of the same coin.
However, I council myself with patience. As E. M. Nicolay has related in his books, we have many younger souls who need these conflicts to grow. They need the bloodlust and vanquishment. They choose these scenarios for growth. The rest of us check out.
