Fear.

They must fear us to the point that they obey us. And by us, I mean the overwhelming majority of citizens as a whole.

They currently have no fear of any repercussions for their actions. That lack of fear has bred contempt.

IMO, it’s really that simple.

And if this is the way God has appointed to fix things, a fear of the Lord will have to fall upon them. And there are many scenarios by which this could play out.

They do not fear us because the corrupt media formerly known as the mainstream media runs interference for them.

Squashing any negative news and promoting positive news.

Pox: "They currently have no fear of any repercussions for their actions. That lack of fear has bred contempt."

And the lack of fear on their part is actually quite reasonable. Someone like McCain can spit in the faces of his conservative constituents and still be reelected. It's going to take a real bloodletting at the ballot box for any of our patrician political class to wake up.

Just look at the US Senate. What an absolute joke. Talk about a bunch of out of touch, pale, geriatric aristocrats who haven't had an original idea in decades. All they know is doubling down for more government to fix the problems they, themselves created in the first place.

We absolutely will not ever get change unless we first start by retiring most of these fools. Until then, they'll continue to hold us in utter contempt, and rightly so.
