Kitten’s post is excellent.
And here’s some food for thought:

No, not quite correct. I have watched this country progress with regular help of both parties toward a socialist system. All the while patriots (i.e.; conservatives and Constitutionalists) have been driven into the pubbie ranks to ‘Save the Republic’ with the same regularity that rats rally their base with the ‘they’’ll throw grandma off a cliff’ meme. The FACT is that the GOP has betrayed that base at nearly every turn in the last 25-30 years when they have wielded power. When in the minority, they startle one with the cooperation to dismantly the institutions and laws of the land and plead innocence. They are, to be coldly honest, complicit in the crime of treason.
We can only rely on the hope of a principled leader or the clear and present danger of a feral gub’mint’s aggressive provocation for a Constituional reset of government. In either case, a flim-flam populist shouting slogans he neither believes or shows any evidence of practicing will gain us neither and only exacerbate the situation. That will only drive either option for Constitutional restoration.
