The Boston Tea Party 2.0
It's up to us to keep The Overton Window* wide open & static.
Whatever your (religious) beliefs...
This thread says it all, & very succinctly at that.
There's NO middle ground if we're to get out of this alive (or fully dead, for that matter...as the transhumanists would like eternal life in The Cloud).
You rise up or you fall to tyrants.

What’s happening with Houck, Trump, non-violent Jan. 6thers, etc. is Spirit of the Age is trying to enforce a Canadian/European-like political duopoly. As in just controlled opposition versus its acolytes. So masses of dissidents have no representative means to be heard.
This is why European media, a ministry of the Spirit of the Age, has ignored all the scores of dissident protests past couple of years as if they’re not happening. They ruthlessly enforce the duopolistic narrative.
Masses of dissidents are made to feel as if they can’t do any better than Boris, McCarthy, McConnell, etc so just settle for slower rate of managed decay, or you don’t have a voice at all. Another reason why Italy’s new Deborah better have best personal security in the world.
Any attempt to pry open the Overton Window, either via a proxy like Trump, or a populist driven protest like the Canadian Truckers, and you’re an “insurrectionist” (as the convoy organizers now are).
This has been done before. The Boston Tea Party organizers were also insurrectionists, as were the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence, in they mind of Mad King George. Just to prove there really is nothing new under the sun…
While Christ is the lamb slain before the foundations of the world for our sins, in the minds of his earthly plotters (the religious council that conspired with Rome to kill him) he was guilty of sedition. Claiming he was the rightful king of Israel not Caesar.
Hence the sign the Romans put over his head at the Cross: “king of the Jews.” The Romans were making a political statement about daring to go against the enforced narrative. Of course, a much bigger cosmic drama was playing out then than mere political machinations.
While not as eternally significant as that one, obviously, I believe a much bigger cosmic drama than mere politics is also playing out today. Lowest stakes we’re playing for here is the existence of Western Civilization, and whether we regress to a new, technocratic Dark Ages.
This is why the Spirit of the Age has gone full jack booted thug since 2016. Trump here and Brexit over there scared it that too many people were waking up, and it had to accelerate its dominionist plans before its Overton Window would be smashed.

In short:
The Overton Window is a model for understanding how ideas in society change over time and influence politics. The core concept is that politicians are limited in what policy ideas they can support — they generally only pursue policies that are widely accepted throughout society as legitimate policy options. These policies lie inside the Overton Window. Other policy ideas exist, but politicians risk losing popular support if they champion these ideas. These policies lie outside the Overton Window.
