Sit down and shut up.

Regressives – those hiding under the shield of Conservative while not acting like anyone who wants to conserve anything except power, want anyone who disagrees with them and speaks up to just shut up and don’t do anything that would bring unwanted attention. The goal of Regressives is to establish an authoritarian politic, ideally a one-man dictatorial rule. Any power sharing is only a way station on the way to totalitarian control.

The Regressive, Authoritarian rules are:

Any opposition in any form is not tolerated.

Facts have no bearing on the rules.

Injury and Death has no bearing on the rules.

People are resources that can be consumed in the process of furthering the goal of absolute power.

“Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.” H. Truman

“Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be lied to. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.” — Octavia Butler, Parable of the Talents

“How easy it is to make people believe a lie, and how hard it is to undo that work again!” Samuel L Clemens
