Is America doomed to a period of terror/dictatorship?

TLDR - Apologies, but I’ve had too much to drink and far too much time to think and read recently.
With the current political climate, rhetoric, rural/urban divide worsening by the day, are we basically snowballing towards a climatic clash? Sitting back for a moment, it’s not a stretch to see similarities to pre WWII Europe, going back as far as the French Revolution.
Rich elite hold lesser beings (both conservative and liberal working class and poor) with utter contempt.
The middle class and poor have a growing hatred of the rich elite. Doesn’t matter the political leanings, everyone hates the tech oligarchy.
Urban population centers are rapidly gaining control of compete political dominance.
Rural America is growing more outnumbered, outvoted and ignored. Frustration is turning to hatred.
Urban and minority voting blocs are becoming more and more emboldened, callous, reckless and radical.
Every voting group seems to have their own straw man for why things are getting worse. Leftist blame the patriarchy and white privilege, conservatives blame minority and urban voting blocs along with east/west coast liberals.
Congress has completely lost its ability to compromise and govern.
Media has lost all credibility. They have become propaganda arms of the left for the most part, with a handful of right wing small platforms. Every news outlet has an agenda and that agenda is never news.
I used to think that eventually there would be a civil war that dragged on, but now I can see a spark that leads to a pretty rapid consolidation of power by either a right wing or a left wing totalitarian regime/junta. Mankind shows an uncanny ability to ignore threats until it’s too late.
History shows that Bolshevism was a growing threat that should have been handled a decade before the Russian Revolution, yet the Tsar and his ministers never saw it coming.
Louis XVI did everything he could to appease the citizens, yet only emboldened them until it was too late.
The NAZI Reich started out as a pathetic movement to be honest, but populism and a desperate populace can lead to incredible terror. To be honest, it was a crap shoot if the Communist or Fascist took over post WWII Germany. Hitler just managed to have a better appeal and showed himself as a clear leader whereas the communist never had such a leader.
Doing my best to be objective and observe (full disclosure, I’m pretty hard right), I can’t help but think it’s inevitable. Freedom will come to America again, but I think we’ll have to endure a period of tyranny to get there. Who knows if it’s a communist regime, fascist regime, some new manifestation of tyranny, anarchy...Human nature inevitably leads to tyranny. History always wins.
If you made it this far, I look forward to the smartass remarks and quotes of my username followed by “fits”

It definitely feels like something is brewing. It’s been just about a whole year since we’ve been locked down so maybe we ignored the threat of communism coming to the US. Now it’s too late to ignore the possibility of a war/ civil unrest.

I believe they've lulled the masses to sleep. Many people are awake but it maybe too late without a serious fight. So far, we are definitely on the path to a dictatorship. The over reaching planned-demic "laws" that everyone has been following and quietly questioning shows the ones in power that we aren't up for a serious fight with them.

I've been buying more ammo. When I can find it.
Posted on 2/23/21 at 10:20 pm to braindeadboxer
I'm starting to think that they are creating a self-fulfilling prophecy, particularly with these military stand downs and re-administering oaths.
Under the guise of eliminating radicalism and extremism, they are going to piss off enough people to where a large amount of the population says "enough is enough" and something happens.

I believe the coin toss is still up in the air.

Yes. My side has all of the guns and ammo and have been collecting them for decades, even generations. Once the SHTF, the military will not help not will they kill citizens. See 1-6-21 as prime example, no matter what side of the aisle your loyalties lie.
The unique thing about this clusterfrick now is that people who have a reason to live actually have a way to protect themselves. The riots, looting, destruction, etc that we have seen from complete morons over the course of the last 4-8 years were fabricated lunacy to get us to where we are today.
Terror, yes in the respect that each and every working class/ tax paying citizen is getting fricked to tears. Dictatorship, yes. Being face fricked with transgender rights, double/ triple masking, open borders, sending more of our money to countries that despise our liberties, yes.
Anyone that looks themselves in the mirror each morning grinning like a cheetah in a parrot show knowing they voted for this shite is a domestic terrorist as far as I'm concerned.

Agreed. Disarmament will come as a death of a thousand cuts. Although there are more guns out there than ever before, per capita ownership has mostly trended negative. Also, should SHTF, the short amount of time it would take arms runners to flood the nation with weapons would make your head spin. These folks have been practicing in global hotspots for decades.
If neither side has a SWIFT victory, it’ll drag on a while.

The USA is doomed to continue along its current historical progression, which will culminate in it being an Internationalist Socialist Appendage Sub-Entity under a Global Government, and, yes, the nature of the USA at that point will be one of the most repressive, controlling and totalitarian societies ever to exist.
Whether this USA will inflict "terror" is unknown, but, it will be very repressive, very controlling and will not tolerate any political dissent whatsoever - dissident voices will be ostracized and denied things like Universal Health Care, unless they report to undergo Psychiatric medical care designed to correct their mental illness (being a dissident).
All religions will either conform to the Regime's requirements or will go underground and exist in the shadows. My guess is that all of the Christian sects will change their theology to conform to the Regime's requirements. The breakaway underground Christian sects that wish to remain true to what they think is the real Theology will operate secretly and meet secretly for religious services.
Paganism will be encouraged by The US Federal Government. But this won't make a huge noticeable difference, because the USA is practically Pagan right now.

Notice all of those extreme movements rose to power in the wake of massive currency devaluation. Czar Nicholas was noted for being a fool for entering WWI.

Doomed? It’s time for a dictatorship. Piss on these milquetoast conservatives.

I think we came close but now I expect we will gradually move back to some sense of normality and civility as the trump years slowly recede into memory. At least hopefully it goes that way. I believe in the American people and that common sense, morals, and human decency towards one another will once again become the norm and not something that is mocked or looked down upon.

with all due respect, we are way past that with the radical left in charge

The thing that scares me way more than the government, Democrats, RINOs, global corporations, tech tyrants, FBI, even the military... what scares me most about this country is how completely lost at least half if not kore than half of this country's people are.
This is what seperates us from times in the past, we used to be fairly united even going back 20 years. But the left has gone full 100% retard, and there is no middle ground to meet them with.
Social media and academia has brain washed tens of millions of people into zombie freaks. It is perfeftly normal and acceptable for major American corporations to be providing "be less white" training seminars. And shockingly, everyone thinks its normal. Our nations capitol is surrounded by thousands of armed troops with razor wire, and has been for over a month... again everyone just thinks its normal and ok.
We are living amongst the walking dead.

Until America repents from its sins, especially abortion (which cries to the heavens for vengeance), this country will be in deep trouble.
Tyrants will be allowed to rule as a punishment. Our whole country must repent. If not, it will get really bad. Maybe if it gets bad enough then the people will turn back to God.
When 911 happened, the people recognized God existed for about a day. When Katrina hit people recognized God for about a day or two.
The tyrants will rule for more than a day. We had warnings and did nothing. God gave us time. That time is up. Anyone who thinks this administration will do good things is a person who loves evil. Stealing freedoms from others is an evil act. (Letting people do whatever they want is not freedom but licentiousness) They are coming for our freedoms. Liberals love this, but at some point you will not be liberal enough for them, and they will come for you.
