>> Does PDJT understand that lasting solutions are beyond the reach of elections?

Excellent point. I’m sure he does. That is something I’ve given a lot of thought to, also.

IMO it’s a bit like having a messy and crumbling house falling down around you. You have 2 choices. 1) Throw your hands up and give up and let it continue to deteriorate. 2) Get busy and make repairs and clean things up.

PDJT (and we) have chosen option 2.

So we are doing our best to clean house and fix things. That doesn’t mean that in the future things won’t need repair and cleaning. But at least we are doing our best to stop the rot. It’s like if you put a new roof on your house. Unless a hurricane comes through, that roof ought to be good for many years.

Another thing: You can only fix the problems you’re aware of. I think about our Founding Fathers. They put safeguards in the Constitution to fix the problems they were dealing with and prevent them from happening again. That worked for quite a long time! I believe they tried to anticipate what else might go wrong and tried to protect against it. That is why we have checks and balances. That’s why we have 3 branches to our government. That’s why we have the Bill of Rights.

Next week it will be 243 years since patriots started this great country. 232 years since the Constitution was written. Those who are evil probably started looking for ways to abuse and exploit it from day 1. But PDJT and his team have used the provisions of that Constitution to counter the exploiters. They are removing the rot and decay. They are putting a new set of safeguards in place to plug the holes that were previously exploited. Will it last forever? I doubt it. But that doesn’t mean that I’m not hopeful. It will be like a new roof. I expect it will provide protection for many years to come.

A thoughtful post. Thanks.

I would only add that in addition to separation of powers the Framers insisted on separation of electors. Its why the 17A has been such a catastrophe.

By the way, have your read Machiavelli's Discourses on Livy? Much there to apply today.
