Commentary: Will We Be Citizens or Subjects?

A decisive moment comes and passes, a fleeting chance for action. People rise to the occasion or not, their measure taken and place in history assigned. 

We, the citizens of the United States, have reached such a moment. For those who still remember the old republic, the questions it poses are self-evident. Do we make a stand or nervelessly surrender our rights? Do we affirm ourselves citizens—an historically rare and noble title—or do we accept becoming subjects, the fate of most humankind?

    All movements need a leader. If Trump calls for demonstrations, how many thousands will show up (most under arms)? Enough, I'd guess. But he has to call them out.

    I think the word he's looking for is serfs.

    this has always been the goal. a return to feudalism.

    You can see local government already acting like feudal lords...edicts without congressional approval or even public approval isn't even what they call 'democracy'.
