I’ve posted this elsewhere but if the shoe fits...
And I quote...
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Furthermore...
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Incredible words and we know where they came from. The are as true today as when they were first written. Unfortunately, they apply to a moral and just people. That no longer describes the majority here in this country. Now the majority thinks they can vote largess from the rest of us. Unless we can reclaim that morality ans sense of justice, we can no longer hear let alone understand those words.
