History is littered with governments who rigged the system.
Have faith in the people brother. They defeated the USSR without firing a shot and that system was pretty rigged....
PTM, you’re right in noting that the Russian, Ukrainian, Estonian and other peoples eventually did throw off the yoke of the Soviets. But it took almost 70 years for them to do it! 70 years in which the Commies effectively plundered and ruined the entire country. That’s what I’m concerned about here— if the Dems get effective One Party Control over the United States, then I agree, eventually they’d screw things up so bad that the people would overthrow them as they overthrew the Commies. Especially since the 2nd Amendment does provide us with some additional checks on their power (unless the Dems find a way to undermine that too, de facto if not de jure, or by turning our own military against the people).
But the Dems would cause such tremendous damage to the country that we’d probably never recover. A USA under effective permanent control of the Democrats would be reminiscent of the corrupt, tottering “pseudo-democracies” in Latin America in which the ruling parties retain their grip on power by effectively bribing the poor to continue voting for them (and controlling information enough that it becomes easy).
Even worse, the Dems would have tremendous resources at their disposal, far more than the Soviets and Nazis had when they suppressed the majority of people in their own nations to prevent uprisings.
That’s why it’s so crucial to prevent the Dems from getting effective control of the Senate with 60 Democratic senators. That would be the “Reichstag Fire” moment in this country and a point of no return, since the Dems would implement the changes I was talking about above— not only expanding statehood to Dem strongholds but, especially, providing mass amnesty and censorship. This, combined with demographic changes in the United States, would effectively finish off the Republican Party and result in a One Party State. And while I’d certainly be the first to keep my Glock and Baretta well-maintained to guard my family against any assaults on my home, in practice a One Party State would be able to summon enough power to overwhelm us. I don’t want the Dems to acquire that level of control. Which is why we have to prevent a 60-seat Dem majority in the Senate, and to return the Senate rules to demand a 2/3 majority override cloture, not just 60% as is currently the case.
Yes but where will they get their next Reagan, Thatcher and JohnPaul II? And who wants to wait forty years for the next Lech Walesa?
