When cultural saboteurs attempt to rewrite America's history as one replete with racism, murder, and hate, what they really desire is to brainwash Americans into forgetting who they are and why they fight. The U.S. government, like all governments filled with imperfect souls prone to corruption and ambition, will use the strengths and passions of the American people to fight all kinds of battles that have more to do with D.C.'s welfare than the country's.

Yep and we the people are at fault for letting it happen. JMO
Its Woodrow Wilson's vision realized 100 years later.
However, it will require force to maintain it, and in fact the "soft" part of that is already happening (Jan 6ers, imho Tucker Carlson's ouster, attempted OSHA mandate).
The question is when the next Waco occurs?
If both of these conditions are not met, we do not consent to being governed, and any government in place is illegitimate.
The argument can easily be made on both counts that these conditions are not being met, and we are therefore being governed by an illegitimate government.
Yes. See my post above, we agree on this.
That’s the problem, by being elected, those in power consider it CONSENT.
They forget that they’re there to serve the people, not the other way around.
“Old World shackles”
The USA has been in IRS shackles for 110 years.
Freedom?
Try building a new housing development here in Florida.
The rare people that have the skills to navigate the rules make big bucks.
“necessary and proper”
The USA has long been run by lawyers.
The Constitution was created so Revolutionary War instruments bought at steep discounts by speculators could be redeemed at face value.
