    When a government is this scared of its citizens, it means that government is totally in the wrong and being fascist as fuck.

      I don’t think they are scared. They are emboldened and feeling like they don’t have to be as careful because the American population is completely submissive and disorganized. A scared government would be making concessions and doing damage control to quell an uprising.
