Some wanted this to happen, collectively we all let it happen.
How many times have we seen something and not said anything?
How many people did not vote because the candidate "Didn't meet their standards of purity"?
How many times did we take the easy road just to get along with no hassles"?
We are now realizing how easy enough it was to let our country slip into communism and just how difficult it will be to get it back.
I think those things are all true, but a more fundamental problem is that we expected our elected officials to represent our interests, and that seems to be the last thing they have in mind.
There are many of us (including me) who have come to the conclusion that there is a real entity called “The Deep State” and up until the last few years, did not realize just how deep the rot went, and that they do not have the best (or any) interests of the country or its citizens in mind.
I hope it is not too late.
