Today, I've just succeeded at
liberalizing (in
Democrat mode, though) the country by September 2015.
The method was simple -- a non-criminal founder (just in case), six dudes with AR-15s (and later M16s stolen from the Army) wearing first the usual clothes, then stealing Police, then Army Body Armor, and good old violence all the way; with properly timed
raids to close the Police Station just so that they won't raid the hideout (closer to the end, a single day of Police being open added 160%
heat to a 75% secrecy hideout).
The public opinion quickly became
Elite Liberal in every aspect. Of course, some tried to stop this, but failed, as the
CCS turned out to be too
incompetent -- even their successful raids (on other organizations, not on the LCS hideout) failed to influence the public opinion in any significant way. Most turned out to be "rampages".
In 2012, an
Elite Liberal president was elected, and the Congress was slightly liberalized -- with a
conservative Senate and a
moderate House. Luckily, the soon-followed (Feb 2013)
Elite Liberal Amendment fixed this mistake. The next one also
fixed the Supreme Court. After that, nothing could stop the federal policies from becoming
Elite Liberal...
By 2013, the "peaceful squad" was expanded to add a hacker into the crew and make the founder write for the
Liberal Guardian, which soon enough accidentally resulted in a Treason charge (I accidentally chose to publish government secrets).
Surprisingly enough, in August 2015, the
CCS even managed to raid the LCS' hideout once, but failed thanks to the LCS members'
superior Rifle skills and lots of booby traps placed around.
