Bemoaning what is achieves little. If is far better to plan ahead: if congress is dominated by conservatives, and there is a conservative POTUS, what needs to be done to dismantle a hundred years of “progressivism/socialism/national socialism/and worse”?

It is essential to have a plan ahead of time.

1) The office of the POTUS needs reform, to reduce its power to constitutional limits. Likewise, treaties and foreign agreements not confirmed by the senate are invalidated.

2) The judiciary needs major reorganization, as well as to retire a lot of radical judges who legislate from the bench, and to reform civil and criminal law.

3) Perhaps a third or more of the federal government needs to be eliminated outright, and the other two thirds downgraded to reasonable levels. All payments to the states should be by block grants, with federal suggestions, not mandates, as to how they should be used.

4) Vast amounts of federal land takings from the states need to be returned. A huge reduction in federal regulations needs to happen.

5) Multinational and foreign corporations can either be patriotic to America, hiring Americans, and paying American wages and taxes, or they do not deserve access to the American markets. Trade agreements that forbid this need to be abrogated.

6) Mining, energy development, copyright and patent law need to be reformed based on the General Mining Act of 1872, which allowed anyone to stake a claim about anywhere, but they most improve that claim to a minimum of $500 (maybe more) per year, or they lose their claim, copyright or patent. This means either sell that amount or more on the open market, a non-restricted sale, or spend at least that amount developing it as a product each and every year.

This list is far from inclusive, but gets the ball rolling to restoring America to greatness. It is far better to ponder this than to deplore what has brought down our nation.
