Paralysis of fear and ignorance

Like stunned deer watching rapidly approaching headlights, America stands immobilized by the confused, yet persistent onslaught of its tyrannical dictator. Many or those not caught up in the headlights, idly watch the scene play out, having been duped into believing some version of the absurd notion that conscious, voluntary inflicting of pain and suffering upon the masses will one day have some medicinal effect(trickle down?). [If I hurt you now we'll all be better off in the future] In the absence of real rhyme or reason, the tyrant, with impunity and no remorse, ravages the land and the people. Ironically because of fear (of what is already being done to them) and the inability to grasp the big picture, the victims cooperate with abusers.
