For those of you who still think that the norms of a civilized society still obtain and that we can still appeal to our alleged representatives for remedy and redress, the author states: "I tell you that the disinterestedness of our elected officials in our pleas to rectify the election process is a symptom of this capitulation to the powerbase of the elite. They don’t care, because they don’t have to."
We need to face reality: that reality is that the same ideas that have animated the 20th century’s tyrants and worst mass murderers now have a happy home in the Democratic Party. The current crop of so-called “Democratic socialists" are merely worshippers in the same pew as Stalin, Castro, Mao, Chavez, Maduro and Pol Pot. They bow before the same altar of human sacrifice and power for power’s sake.
These monsters would rather rule in hell atop of a stinking heap of rubble and corpses than leave the rest of us alone to live in peace. They won’t leave us alone. It comes down to a fundamental conflict between those who think they have the right to dictate the terms of existence to everyone else and those of us who know that no such “right” exists. We’d just as soon that we be left alone to live our lives. But they - the Deep State, the ghouls running the WEF, Islamic murderers and madmen - that "they" won’t do it.
Titus Livy, in his introduction to his monumental history of Rome remarked that his purpose in writing was "to trace the progress of our moral decline, to watch, first, the sinking of the foundations of morality as the old teaching was allowed to lapse, then the rapidly increasing disintegration, then the final collapse of the whole edifice, and the dark dawning of our modern day when we can neither endure our vices nor face the remedies needed to cure them."
Now we must face the remedies needed to cure ourselves of the Marxist totalitarian rot that has overtaken us. That we have allowed to overtake us. Livy's cure will not take place in the voting both nor will it come from the forums of public debate.
Those have been lost to us, as any observant individual well knows.
The honest answers to the following questions won’t be pleasant to contemplate.
When your opponents lack the price of admission to civilized debate: a respect for reason, belief in objective truth, and a willingness to admit they’re wrong when the facts prove it so - what then?
When your opponents' goals are to destroy the very foundation of your culture and your society - and to offer nothing in return but the howling nightmare of a society of cannibals and looters - what then?
When your opponents use the public education system to indoctrinate your children's' minds in the politics of victimization, sexual depravity and the nobility of human servitude and sacrifice - what then?
When the institutions of higher learning are occupied by Marxist multiculturalists who despise the very philosophical foundation upon which the architecture of liberty and human dignity have been constructed and seek to destroy it - what then?
We know the answer - as historian Samuel P. Huntington said in his Clash of Civilizations, "History shows that no country so constituted can long endure as a coherent society." And now we must pay the price for Livy’s cure in fire and famine, disease and blood.

My only gripe with this analysis is the idea that the people once ruled, but the elite has now taken over.
Elites always rule. If a country is blessed, the incentives of the ruling elites will be broadly aligned with the good of the populace.
But in countries in decline (or, perhaps, under Judgement) elite incentives diverge from the good of the country.
In every Western country now, the elites have absolute hatred and contempt for their Heritage populations and are working to destroy and replace them as quickly as they can.
The elites, rulers and leaders of the West are all evil and disgusting. They are perverted and degenerate and deserve to Fall.
By the Hand of the Lord, we will be freed of them, and God-fearing leaders and rulers and elites will be raised up to replace them.

While this is a fine documentation of the loss of the Republic, the late hour probably occurred before the author was born...
The hour was late by 1919, when several daggers had already been plunged into the Constitutional Republic by three Presidents: Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson...
At least five bloody wounds were bleeding profusely from the daggers:
Theft of state lands to create federal government-owned parks...
The federal Reserve...
The 16th Amendment...
The 17th Amendment...
The (now) permanent war powers act...
When FDR came onto the scene he stole American citizen's gold, flooded his administration with known and suspected communists, backed us into a war, and then stole a chunk of every American's paycheck by taking out federal taxes without representation...
He promised that it was "temporary" for the duration of the war... We all know how that turned out!
This sneak taxation method was the final dagger blow...
Now citizens would not get the truthful realization they obtained by the traditional year-end tax pmts and eventually, as planned, the citizens became mere serfs, blind to the Marxist budget growth of the next 80 years...
The Marxists have had free reign to exponentially increase the control, by the government, of every aspect of the American serf's lives...
Trillions in debt, a country in a chaotic state of disunity, half of the serfs despise both the former Constitution and the cultural western principals it embodied...
The America that stood as a beacon of freedom to the world no longer exists...
There are absolutely no warnings that can, or will, save the Nation...
The multitude of clear & present warnings over the past 110 years were totally ignored or ridiculed...
The Founding Fathers left a clear path to restore the Republic...
You are correct in your assessment. The turn of the last century essentially marked the end of the “gentlemen’s agreement” that held between the East Coast / English elites and the Midwest / West coast elites wherein the Presidency and the trappings of the rule of law was passed back and forth like a football. The rise of the Progressives crashed that party and led to our present predicament.
The federal Reserve...
The 16th Amendment...
The 17th Amendment...
1913 was quite the year, wasn’t it ?
What happened after 1933 could not have happened but for the changes in 1913.
The People of the United States are the owners of this nation, and their flag is Old Glory. The Government of the United States is nothing more than the glorified management company we've hired to keep the trains running on time.
The beauty of the Constitution is that it allows thorough reform without (one would hope) bloody revolution.
Yes the decline of our nation is great. But what we have, that Rome and other failed republics didn't, is our inspired and very robust Constitution.
We need to get after all three branches to observe and enforce it.
This is by far the better option than bloody revolution, after which, the 'constitution' governing us may be very primitive and very evil.
We are only as free as we make the effort to know why.

The Republic is broken because of unchecked entry by foreign trash from the third world, by public largess for votes, by social media, by memes, trending and our mainstream media.
Our laws are only being enforced by Democrats when it is convenient or beneficial to them and being used as a political weapon against traditional Americans who believe in a Republic over mob rule (democracy).
Our only defense now is a Supreme Court that thankfully has a majority of non-Democrats, but every step its decisions take back towards the Republic our founders gave us will be met with the vehemence we see in the Roe v Wade reversal.

Secssion. It's coming.
BS.
The principle for which we contend is bound to reassert itself, though it may be at another time and in another form.
