The Totalitarian dillemma - how do you change it peacefully?

 People tell me that most FBI agents are good people who bring criminals to justice. If that's true, where do you think they get people like the two dozen agents with machine guns and ballistic vests with FBI stenciled on them raiding the home of a pastor, his wife and his seven children at dawn?

 This is not an isolated instance. Recall the night-time raid on the home of the 70-year-old Roger Stone that involved not just a SWAT Team but helicopters, boats and a CNN News team conveniently primed to film the raid by the FBI. That's how totalitarians intimidate the population; you make examples, you highlight these arrests to let them know that it can happen to you.

As Tonto said to the Lone Ranger when the Indian attacked: what do you mean “we” white man?”  Who do you think will “clean up” the FBI?  Christopher Ray, the man who’s run the place for the past 6 years?  Or Merrick Garland who labelled men and women who criticized school boards as domestic terrorists?  Do you think Joe Biden will change his mind about MAGA Republicans after calling them fascists?  

Keep in mind that these people have the power to send dozens of heavily armed men to arrest elderly men asleep in the middle of the night, or middle-aged pastors in front of their children.  Probably thousands of college-educated men – and women - would love to be in on these raids believing they are saving the country.  

Seriously, what is Jim Jordan going to do when Ray, or Garland tells him that he’s got a plane to catch and can’t stay to chat?  That’s what we got when the Left created a “cabal of powerful people” and decided to – the Time Magazine’s words - “save” the 2020 election. Mao wasn't kidding when he said that political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.
