Yet somehow, "we" as the people not consenting still put up with it because we're too busy to make ends meet, of if we do, picking the next toy to distract us from reality with. And when it comes to freedom of speech or gun laws, it's suddenly all about "muh freedom" and that we need all this in case the government turns rogue to defend ourselves. Which is absolutely true but at the same time, how much more messed up do things need to get to actually get us on the streets in masses and protest this madness? Probably as long as there is some third would country doing worse than us left somewhere on this planet, we can paint over this cognitive dissonance with some good old "at least we're not $county"
