Trump And The Republican Drama Obscures The Real Crisis

The Republican caterwauling over Donald Trump reminds me of the lyric from “That’s Entertainment”: “There’s no ordeal/like the end of Camille.” Jeb Bush, Lyndsey Graham, and Mitt Romney have announced that they will snub the GOP convention. GOP big donors are closing their wallets. Some pundits and politicians are contemplating a third-party candidate to prove the purity of their conservative principles, even if it means Hillary Clinton will end up appointing 2-3 Supreme Court Justices. The litany of Trump’s sins is recited over and over, with the implication that such a vulgar blowhard is an unprecedented blot on American history.

At least Trump does allude to the problems, and yes we are afraid, and why many of us support him. Getting rid of the illegals will stop a considerable drain on the budget of governments at all levels. It’s at least a start, and a start no one, Republican or Democrat will even consider.

All Mrs. Bill needs is one Justice and the Constitution no longer is anything at all beyond the USSC. The USSC has long been the only Constitution of the United States but it has irregularly used the old paper Constitution as a guide or at least an excuse for the Laws that it passes or rescinds. With a fifth communist on the Court the 1787 Constitution is finally relegated to being an interesting scrap of paper. It may not even be used as faux justification any more. The Total State will have arrived with a bang. A dozen cases will make it to the USSC for rapid decision in Mrs. Bill’s first year that will strip out any pretense that there is a First or Second Amendment and the rest will be gone in the first year. Once that all happens there is NO return.Revolution or coup is then the only way to change the system but that is all that can happen. The Republic can not be regained. The population will not support it.

She would be then planting the seeds of a future revolt which will not be peaceful.

Violent revolt might be successful in that the regime would be changed but the Republic cannot be regained through revolution. The population is too large and the producing segment too small.

What if the producers forge their plows into swords?

A revolution can be mounted and can be successful in that the regime is overthrown but the resulting government will not be any sort of Democratic or Representative Republic. That requires a population of individualistic producers not tied to family or to welfare. We don’t have that in America and have not had it since the War on Poverty. Two Republics have been founded by populations made up of refugees from the old order who did not bring family or clan ties with them into the new land, Switzerland and the USA. Other revolutions have been either simple coups and conquests or on the French/Bolshevik model. The possible exception to the implied rule is South Korea that had its essentially bloodless revolution that threw out the previous corrupt dictatorial system and replaced it with a functioning democracy.

Hungry belly focuses the mind.

A full one causes the mind to wander.

The non producers have it handed to them courtesy of the govt, in exchange for votes, the continuation of rule by bought power.

Producers fuel this sale be acquiescence.

Getting rid of the elite ruling class is only half the answer.

The other is showing the non producers the choice they have of starving or picking up the hammer and saw.

Then the population can have discourse regards the best way to get along with each other.

Most of them, perhaps almost all, will not pick up the hammer and the saw. They will rather strive to steal your hammer and your saw that they might sell them or trade them for food or drugs.
