Resistance is not futile. We are far bigger and stronger than they are. An organized and determined resistance could dismantle the police state.
But the vast majority of the population is uneducated, uninformed and unmotivated. They're unwilling to turn off TV and talk radio and participate in their community.
And the few who are educated, informed and motivated get discouraged when nobody joins them in their protests, when they're alone in speaking out.
Maybe it needs to get even worse before a critical mass of resistance will set aside their trivial distractions and organize themselves.
