This plan is predicated on the assumption that the GOP will win back a majority in one or both chambers in 2022......I am curious to hear thoughtful comments .......Plan: If the GOP wins a majority in one or both chambers, then I think that our America First representatives, having run as GOP candidates, should, en masse, re-register as Independents, enough to deprive McCarthy and/or McConnell of the gavel and make it known that the "America First Independent Caucus" holds all the power of the vote.
I am hoping that bigger brains than mine may be able to figure out how we can withhold power from McCarthy and McConnell using at least a portion of this proposal.....Thoughts, anyone?
We are a nation of somewhere above 300 million people. It would take a heck of a lot more than one or ten or one hundred or even hundreds of thousands to effect that kind of change. The overwhelming number of people are followers, not leaders. The kind of "stop consenting" movement you and I are imagining would take a leader like Trump (only more focused). The leader would need an incredibly loyal, dedicated support staff, and a truly massive number of citizen followers. I don't see that ever happening.
I don't either, and for one reason: We, the People, prefer our creature comforts far more than the sacrifice it would take to simply quit consenting.
