    Therein lies the issue with Crying Wolf.

    When the real US Secret Police is established next year, the alarm will already have been sounded and will therefore be less effective.

        There’s a big difference between the Stasi and the FBI. Granted, the FBI has been known to occasionally do Stasi-esque illegal shit (most notably assassinating MLK), but that’s not their mission statement and what they do the vast majority of the time.

        Again, you will probably be right in a little while when Project 2025 kicks in, but at present you’re pulling the fire alarm because someone is unwrapping a toaster strudel.
