In 1968 there was a very "prophetic" movie made about America slipping into a totalitarian government and it had plots and subplots.. John Forsythe was the star and played a general, Shadow on the Land. Here i was a teenager, looking at the possibility of the draft thinking, "Aren't we there yet?" Here I am in my 70's thinking, "Okay kids, we're there!" My poor grandchildren and great-grandchildren will never know the freedom I enjoyed at their ages.
People think Trump will save them and he has flipped more times than a batch of hash browns on a short order grill. Get ready, get prepared and get right with the Almighty and, NO, I am not talking about Trump or any government but the one and only Creator of the Universe.
I've read many dystopian novels over the years. I used to like them at one time but now I find them to be unsettling and unpleasant. Maybe it's because I can now see the world slipping into decline and the totalitarianism approaching. These books are not just crazy SF novels anymore, they seem to be glimpses of an all too real manifestation of possible futures. I could always separate fiction from reality before, but now the lines are blurred, and the dystopian reality is starting to emerge, like a bad dream you can't wake up from.
We are now entering the dark ages. This will end up being a cold soulless world if we are not careful. Give some of our freedoms away now and the future will be worse. A world without love is not worth living.

Never Ever Ever Ever depend on the Government for any reason.
