The shift from a relatively benign government to one that is actively hostile to the typical citizen is accelerating. And "typical" means tax-paying and normal. The shock troops of the left are very carefully protected by the agents of government, and the proof of that is the conspicuous lack of prosecutions for the multi-billion dollar riots of a few years ago. Antifa and BLM and the other counter-culture thugs that the left wields can riot and burn and beat and probably kill without fear of government action.

On the other side of the spectrum, the January 6th demonstration, made up almost entirely of those tax-paying normals (except for the agents provocateurs of the government!) have been hounded by the agents of the federal government, hunted with every technology available to them, and charged with obscene and ridiculous crimes. The act of walking through a government building whose doors were opened by government agents will get you several years in Lubyanka Washington D.C. jail.

Or dead, as Ashli Babbitt and Rosanne Boyland discovered.

And it's getting worse. The Biden/Obama regime has weaponized every department of government, and has given them an obvious mandate to shoot first and not bother with any questions.

No Charges in Deadly ATF Arkansas Home Raid

Mr. Malinowski was executive director of the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport in Little Rock until that morning, when a convoy of 10 law enforcement vehicles rolled into his upscale neighborhood and agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), holding automatic rifles in the ready position, placed tape on his video doorbell, announced their presence, and in less than one minute, broke into the home while he was sleeping. Mr. Malinowski, a gun collector, woke up, grabbed his gun, exchanged gunfire with the ATF, and Mr. Malinowski was shot dead in front of his wife.
