The scariest thing of all is the utter lack of resistance and outrage.
I truly fear that things will retain the guise of normalcy and control until the absolute breaking point, and then the downfall will be as swift and sudden as this world has ever seen.
Until that point, it will just be a slow, steady downward spiral into socialism, where even the "opponents" of the socialists are weak hearted conservatives at best.
That is my well educated guess.
