Yeah, well, I think it's all going to come tumbling down based on the Trump/Elon effect.
When exposing a crime is treated like committing a crime, you may then know you are ruled by CRIMINALS.
People may not pay attention, but they're not stupid to blatant thievery and hypocrisy. It's a blitzkrieg against the bureaucrats with so much info coming out it's impossible for ordinary people to bury their heads anymore.
Ayn Rand called it 70 years ago:
"When you see that in order to produce you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - When you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - When you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you - When you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice-You may know that your society is doomed."
~ Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged. , 1957
