OK, conservatives may “wake up” - but then what?
You are not taking back control of institutions, and you are not voting your way out of this.
“The Swamp” is in full control of Fed.gov and it has the power of the financial/monetary system, military, the vast American security and intel apparatus, academia, media propaganda, and many state governments behind it.
Your last point is spot on. Make no mistake about it: The Swamp is firmly in control.
Even if we succeed in getting Trump elected we are a long way from any type of restorative actions. The entire Swamp will be mobilized to work against him on every level, and he won’t have much in the way of help from the gutless GOP.
The country is in a very bad place right now. Remedies are a long way off.
