Agreed! I think that in the end...this all came down to not really understanding what you’re up against when dealing with the Deep State. If there is ever going to be another true “outsider” coming to WH the first thing you would see them do is....charge many many people (from both parties) with crimes against the US People. You need to go in an expect EVERYONE is corrupt and then slowly weed out the good from the bad. That would be the focus of any first term. Not tax cuts, not deregulations, not photo ops, fund raisers, etc.....all those come second from cleaning up house. The fact that NO ONE of significance ever got charged or arrested (except those close to Trump- what a coincidence) says that there was never a “Plan” from day one and certainly after the election. This is the history lesson learned from all of this debacle.
I was so hopeful that there was a plan and that something was FINALLY going to happen to the professional criminals in the establishment. Then... nothing.
My affection for President Trump, for the movement that he began, and for the ideals represented in our founding documents hasn’t lessened a jot, but given the current state of affairs, I’m struggling not to let cynicism get the better of me.
My wife and I are taking some time to think about how we get involved in local and state-level politics and what we do next.
