Useful Idiot - Means You

When they enslave you you will not know it; it will feel like a gift, a great idea, a necessary step. When they nail you to an all-encompassing surveillance system you will think it a fine new law to track only the bad guys, you won't think it could ever be you they're looking for. When they come for your guns you will willingly surrender them for the sake of peace and safety, proudly consider it your duty. When they cancel and mute your voice, it will be in the just cause of 'disseminating reckless false misinformation,' or of being a conspiracy theorist, and just maybe you're also a racist!! Then they will indoctrinate your children, pervert them, turn them against you for it’s not your future it’s theirs, 'theirs' meaning those in charge of your life. They will control you from cradle to grave. You will no longer have to pursue happiness, it will be rationed for you, so you can watch moron TV until you die. When one freedom after another is smothered and shut-down you will be looking the other way thinking what a fine day to be this free in the home of the brave.

Been an eye-opening couple of years. A lot of things are looking like frog pots these days.
