I wouldn’t hold my breath. In the end, these are people trying to feed their families, which is going to be impossible if they are resisting this too hard. The attack by the magats is unprecedented in this respect.

It's sad. This is how we get to "just following orders", and I can't say I blame them for not stopping them. Even if they wanted to, they'd just be replaced by someone who wouldn't.

The key problem is that they started by getting rid of all the people who's job it is to enforce the laws that are being broken.

That sounds like something that falls into the all enemies, foreign and domestic category.
