22. They will only drag off the troublemakers

Little lambs who love and fear their protectors will be safe, as long as they are ruled by fear. And if it should turn out -as it always does- that a police state with no hindrances may act in a criminal fashion with total impunity, and may even destroy lives by its stupid mistakes, and likewise with the same impunity and absence of recourse, the little lamby-lambs will certainly understand that continuing to be ruled by their fear is the only way left to keep "bad" from instantly going to "worse." Compared to others, they will still think they don't have it so bad! "Keep your head down. Demanding your rights is just asking for trouble. The President's men have tough enough jobs keeping us safe, without a lot of people asking questions and complaining."

Little lambs have nothing to fear - as long as they are ruled by fear.
