They started out over the edge.

Isn't this all awfully familiar? Remember all those stories about how
the Godless commie government in Russia was such a police state that it
was considered suspicious to have a map, travelers needed government
permission to move around, and anyone who questioned the government was
by definition a traitor or a threat to the security of the state.

Who would have thought that we would so quickly embrace their police
state after so many years of anti Soviet propaganda?

Welcome to the US the US the USSR ...
