“We need a miracle.

I think we’re going to get one.”

Care to elaborate?

I suggest looking at this on a more basic level. Throughout history we can see that given his druthers and given time, Caesar Has always descended to the lowest moral level possible. Calgula and Nero are more the rule than the exception. So you want to replace the current caesar with a new and improved caesar? You might want to rethink that approach.

On the flip side, just sitting on our thumbs does such a good job.

Sadly, I agree we are on borrowed time, but there is hope.
I do NOT believe that politicians will clean up the mess THEY made on their own. I do NOT believe the answer lies in the vote. Mark Twain once said that if it (voting) were really important, they would not let us do it.
Do they send the police out to monitor voting? Nope. Not important.
They do send out the police during demonstrations and peaceful assemblages. The politicians know that if it gets too big, they can not control it. Look at the Tea Party. It caused a minor revolt in the Republican Party which continues today. The People put down the TV remote, got off their butts and became involved.
The problem is that We the People want instant results. The Progressives have been chipping away for the last 50 years. They have been patient, and their patience is paying off.
They have been the only people speaking out.
The Founders gave us an escape clause because I believe they foresaw what is happening. I refer to an Article Five Convention as described in Mark Levin’s book (The Liberty Amendments). To date, laws have only been passed by the House - Senate - President route. The second method, to date unused, is to call a convention of States. That move is on now.
Those of us that do not believe the country is going in the right direction need to get more involved. Do NOT just vote (Still important). Get involved. Go to town hall meetings. Show up when your representatives are in town. Take a friend. Take two. It does not matter if they speak up. Just the bodies sends the message. Even better if they do speak up.
From polls, 75% +/- think term limits for Congress are required. That is a GREAT starting point. Congress will never pass that. Only we can take back the Country and return the US to it’s place of prominence on the World stage.
Like everything that matters, it starts small, and grows into something much larger. The time is NOW.
