Did someone or something seize control of the United States?
What happened to the U.S. border? Where did it go? Who erased it? Why
and how did 5 million people enter our country illegally? Did Congress secretly repeal our immigration laws? Did President Joe Biden issue an executive order allowing foreign nationals to walk across the border
and reside in the United States as they pleased?
Since when did money not have to be paid back? Who insisted that the
more dollars the federal government printed, the more prosperity would follow? When did America embrace zero interest? Why do we believe $30 trillion in debt is no big deal?
When did clean-burning, cheap, and abundant natural gas become the
equivalent of dirty coal? How did prized natural gas that had granted America's wishes of energy self-sufficiency, reduced pollution, and inexpensive electricity become almost overnight a pariah fuel whose extraction was a war against nature? Which lawmakers, which laws, and
which votes of the people declared natural gas development and
pipelines near criminal?
Was it not against federal law to swarm the homes of Supreme Court
justices, to picket and to intimidate their households in efforts to
affect their rulings? How then with impunity did bullies surround the
homes of Justices Brett Kavanaugh, Samuel Alito, Amy Coney Barrett,
Neil Gorsuch, John Roberts, and Clarence Thomas - furious over a court decision on abortion? How could these mobs so easily throng our
justices' homes, with placards declaring "Off with their d--s"?
Since when did Americans create a government Ministry of Truth? And on
whose orders did the FBI contract private news organizations to censor stories it did not like and writers whom it feared?

The Coup We Never Knew
Victor Davis Hanson
How did we wake up one morning to new customs of impeaching a
president over a phone call? Of the speaker of the House tearing up
the State of the Union address on national television? Of barring congressional members from serving on their assigned congressional committees?
When did we assume the FBI had the right to subvert the campaign of a candidate it disliked? Was it legal suddenly for one presidential
candidate to hire a foreign ex-spy to subvert the campaign of her
rival?
Was some state or federal law passed that allowed biological males to
compete in female sports? Did Congress enact such a law? Did the
Supreme Court guarantee that biological male students could shower in
gym locker rooms with biological women? Were women ever asked to
redefine the very sports they had championed?
When did the government pass a law depriving Americans of their
freedom during a pandemic? In America can health officials simply
cancel rental contracts or declare loan payments in suspension? How
could it become illegal for mom-and-pop stores to sell flowers or
shoes during quarantine but not so for Walmart or Target?
Since when did the people decide that 70 percent of voters would not
cast their ballots on Election Day? Was this revolutionary change the
subject of a national debate, a heated congressional session, or the
votes of dozens of state legislatures?
What happened to Election Night returns? Did the fact that Americans
created more electronic ballots and computerized tallies make it take
so much longer to tabulate the votes?
When did the nation abruptly decide that theft is not a crime, and
assault is not a felony? How can thieves walk out with bags of stolen
goods, without the wrath of angry shoppers, much less fear of the law?
Was there ever a national debate about the terrifying flight from Afghanistan? Who planned it and why?
What happened to the once-trusted FBI? Why almost overnight did its
directors decide to mislead Congress, to deceive judges with concocted
tales from fake dossiers and with doctored writs? Did Congress pass a
law that our federal leaders in the FBI or CIA could lie with impunity
under oath?
Who redefined our military and with whose consent? Who proclaimed that
our chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff could call his Chinese
Communist counterpart to warn him that America's president was
supposedly unstable? Was it always true that retired generals
routinely labeled their commander-in-chief as a near Nazi, a
Mussolini, an adherent of the tools of Auschwitz?
Were Americans ever asked whether their universities could
discriminate against their sons and daughters based on their race? How
did it become physically dangerous to speak the truth on campus? Whose
idea was it to reboot racial segregation and bias as "theme houses,"
"safe spaces," and "diversity"? How did that happen in America?
How did a virus cancel the Constitution? Did the lockdowns rob us of
our sanity? Or was it the woke hysteria that ignited our collective
madness?
We are beginning to wake up from a nightmare of a country we no longer recognize, and from a coup, we never knew.

P-Dub: A lot of very good points here. Generalized, but on target. We
