    I think many Westerners have forgotten the inherent power of the police force and the military even in national discourse. We’ve grown accustomed to them being, perhaps thugish , but not a threat to the societal order and, at least to a certain degree, to the liberties that we generally enjoy. Legitimacy and power ultimately stems from military force and the monopoly of violence, and USA is hearing towards Gilead.
