They can't do anything if there is no one willing to work for them. The things I worry about is the talk of super secret advanced weapons and stuff - before I would have rolled my eyes at the idea, now nothing seems impossible. If they have some terrible tricks up their sleeve they might decide to resort to out and out honest tyranny instead of what we have now. But at least then we would ALL know who our enemy is, and the resistance would be stronger and better organised, because there wouldn't be so much trouble trying to work out who is with us or who is unknowingly and naively against us etc.
