@robyoung-pl1gq And you are, what?

@edwardwalsh5477 That's too simple. Study the US founders and you'll understand exactly why this didn't happen sooner. But the truth is that Marxism in America was nurtured by Jacobin socialists (who had a roughly parallel revolution in France) and then this Napoleonic style tyranny was modeled by the Confederacy to preserve "States' rights" with no actual obedience to the US Constitution except when convenient. This cult lives on until this day. You can trace their yearning for tyranny not just from the Civil War but with each election cycle from the assassination of Lincoln until Biden. Looking back to the time before the founders, they were concerned about obedience to any dogmatic belief system. For example believing in "a higher power" with a pope as its early representative had all of those elements you mentioned. Many popes were tyrants and had their own armies and often mustered armies from around "Christendom" in order to achieve political aims "In the name of Christ". The governing doctrines of the founders, at least the ones captured in the US Constitution, came from the doctrines of Jesus including Jesus's caveats about Mosaic law. IOW, Mosaic law is great and was the standard for the Israelites up until the Messiah ended that period of history. It's not that Mosaic law failed but that it was somewhat tyrannically in order to protect the nation needed to bring for the Messiah. The caveats of Jesus like "Judge others as you would have others judge you" meant that going forward nobody could pretend to be "sent by God" to judge any other humans except by standards that they themselves are also willing to face. The best example of that is English common law traditions carried forward with the American colonies and then preserved in text by the US Constitution. But the evil Jacobin cult never gave up and after losing the Civil War they came up with "Progressive" (Marxist) doctrines to create a spectrum of authority not allowed by the text of the Constitution. They turned the courts in to "Brain Trusts" when they got their way and "Capitalist Oppressors" when they didn't. And they have created Soviet style governance in the USA decade by decade and it can be argued that Lenin himself, once he took power, had to invent what Mussolini called Fascism and many of their doctrines were inspired at least in part by the US Democratic Party of decades prior to all of that. If take Woodrow Wilson and the terms where he ruled, he took power between the major Russian revolutions. Lenin came up with his "New Economic Policy" during that time and published it in 1921. He sort of fused US Progressivism with Marxism under "Dictatorship of the Proletariat" and the basic framework for Fascism and Nazim was born. While Hoover was President, FDR came up with his "New Deal" paradigm that obviously borrowed heavily from European Fascism. The Constitution still enables a lot of resistance an defense was easy until the culture war got sprung. Suddenly everyone thought it was OK to have an "Arsenal of Democracy" to fund Stalin's "defense of Russia" because we're to presume that Nazism was the exact opposite of glorious Russian Communism that FDR expected to "democratically" take over all of Europe. And if you think WWII or Reagan ended Marxism in the USA...please. The first thing Clinton did was prop up China as "nascent capitalists" for the kind of "Post Communist" world as described by the highly delusional Francis Fukuyama, who inspired George Bush to combine the Global War on Terrorism with "(Democratic) Nation Building" as the insane Marxist Progressive cult pretends to successfully lead since Woodrow Wilson beat Taft. And even Teddy Roosevelt was acceptable to the Marxists because they thought "trust busting" would spark the (Marx-predicted) war on property rights itself.
