metaphors for reduced public services, and entitlements, with increased military spending (whether they want it or not), jackbooted ICE agents asking for your papers (if you fit the profile), increasing federal deficits despite reduced entitlement budgets, monetary policies which only help the wealthy, etc .... and you can fill in the rest

Very possibly conservatives will lock up the power structure so liberals can never assume power.
Tyranny of the ignorant
