The article is a long-ish read, but it is so closely reasoned and excellently constructed with examples of other nations that have gone down the dark road we find ourselves on that it is well worth it.
Frum lays out exactly where we are on our political/social journey, how we got here, and lays out a persuasive - and chilling - look at what may well be coming next.

Those citizens who fantasize about defying tyranny from within fortified compounds have never understood how liberty is actually threatened in a modern bureaucratic state: not by diktat and violence, but by the slow, demoralizing process of corruption and deceit. And the way that liberty must be defended is not with amateur firearms, but with an unwearying insistence upon the honesty, integrity, and professionalism of American institutions and those who lead them. We are living through the most dangerous challenge to the free government of the United States that anyone alive has encountered. What happens next is up to you and me. Don’t be afraid. This moment of danger can also be your finest hour as a citizen and an American. |
