There are many great posts on this thread, but yours really nails it. It’s also explains why its absurd for folks to want Ron Desantis to leave his fabulous governorship in Florida for the presidency.
We’ve all been sadly enlightened on how or country really operates. Going forward, the only reasonable path is to shore up red areas. It’s now all about school boards, city/county councils, Sheriffs, state legislatures, governors.
Can conservatives for once DO something, take action, instead of hanging back and waiting to respond to the leftist hoards?

At the risk of sounding like a mutual admiration society you likewise made a very profound point: the rising awareness that our country has become a kleptocracy. There’s no denying it anymore. The District of Corruption is running the country for its own benefit.
The first step toward improving things is recognizing the problem. I think more and more of us have finally come to accept the fact that our beloved country and its principles have been hijacked by corrupt elites and their broad array of allies in every institution in the country.
They grew like a cancer and we did little to nothing to stop it. (One reason we didn’t is because we don’t have a real party fighting for us.) But now many of our fellow countrymen are noticing what’s going on and the elites are getting very nervous about it. I would be too if I was one of them.
The next step is to start funding and electing decent, courageous people who are committed to arresting the decline of this once great country and getting rid of the liars, crooks and backstabbers who are destroying it.
We need to go on offense because its hard to win at anything when you’re always playing defense. Its time we start putting points on the board.
