This has been around before, and is merely hostility projected to national policy.
Couldn't possibly work, and isn't even desirable.
Conservatives exist in fear, and the fear of being inferior to someone else is one of the basics! The antidote to that fear is the false sense of superiority, supported by the humiliation of others supposedly lower than oneself.
There are lots of women who should be on birth control, granted, but conservatives fight birth control and a******n at every step, don't they?
Imagine living in a country with forced, production line birth-control, mandated by the government. Makes "death panels' seem like a parlor game.
It would be fun for conservatives to make "those people" exist on rice, beans and powdered milk. Imagine how we could loathe them.
Then there's the inventory of each and every possession you own? Mind boggling!
Regular testing for alcohol, nicotine, tattoos (??!!) piercings (??). I can't stand tattoos or piercings, and can't understand them, but inventorying them, inspecting and measuring them, some government functionary assigning penalties for exceeding the government norms...and all this from a person who doubtless favors "liberty," meaning 'lack of Liberty for those I don't approve of.'
Patrick Henry, sound the clarion call, disorder is at hand!
See this letter for what it is: hatred of others, especially those you can look down on, plus substantial fear of them at the same time, coupled with a terminal desire for structure--Liberty-crushing, soul-destroying structure.
Aren't the homeless we have on the streets now fun enough to mimic? Thank you Ronnie Reagan for putting mental patients out to sleep on steam grates!
That should be amusement enough for anyone.
Granted,we live in a chaotic world, sort of a free market, Liberty-based world, where one chooses how to live his life, and some don't make good choices.
So--emulating our poisonous fantasies of what we think Liberals want--we conservatives will plan everyone's life to our measure, punish those we choose, and after suitable inventory and documentation declare that the guilty sew a red star on their clothing, and send the Trump-troops to 'educate' them as we feel appropriate.
And finally, consider who posts this fantasy, who cuts and pastes it, and who would love to administer it.
And that nasty old Constitution, who needs it? Freedom to v**e is no longer deemed necessary. It violates the appropriate national norms of desirable behavior.
Toss it out so all can be free! Freedom is not v****g! T***h is a lie!
Liberty is not necessary! All hail our glorious leader! Obey! Obey!
(We used to have a choice, diidn't we?)
Pass the beans and rice. And a little powdered milk....
